[Speed] What speeds should I be getting with Triple Play?I'm in Atlanta with the HD PREFERRED PLUS XF Triple play? Nowhere on my bill or in the Comcast MyAccount portal can I find what speeds I should be getting. |

Thanks, SamKnows is consistently showing 36 down and 2 up. I have a ubee DVM3203B modem. Does this screen shot tell what speeds it is provisioned at? |

Nope, that shows the theoretical max speed per interface, with most of them being the downstream and upstream channels. From the looks of it, you have 8 downstream channels, and 3 up (two being 16QAM, one 64QAM). Interesting screenshot though, the Ubee modems list stats I haven't seen on other ones . Try running ShaperProbe a few times. |

I'll try with a good computer when I get home. The only computer on the network now is very slow. I'm also using an old Linksys WRT54G router which may be the bottleneck. |

WRT54G can't route more than that 36Mbps. The limit is the CPU. You need a faster router to handle speeds faster than that. |

The WRT54G's stock firmware isn't that great. Definitely try it without the router in the loop. Power cycle the modem as well, otherwise it won't work. |

Re: What speeds should I be getting with Triple Play?said by Thordrune:The WRT54G's stock firmware isn't that great. I've been using Tomato Firmware v1.27. I had forgotten about setting up QoS. The way Tomato upload QoS works is you specify your internet upload speed and the router reserves a portion of this for high priority packets. Well, I had set it up way back when my upload speed was 2 Mbps. After re-configuring it for my current speeds my SamKnows upload speeds jumped to 11 Mbps where they should be. Problem solved! |
