I had a WRT54GL a long time ago and it didn't do too well with all my services running and QoS enabled on top of that, it got maxed out pretty quick.

Maybe time to upgrade?

I thought so too, when I first got my Cogeco 30/2 service last year, but was pleasantly surprised at the download speed and the test benchmarks, so I stayed with the beast.

Since my current (START cable 16/1) service is less fast than the GOUGEco, I see no hardware reason to change routers, unless upgrading to Gigabit LAN convinces me sometime.
