Re: Keep it!

it only triggers when doing a larger download, a speed test shouldnt trigger it. And even if it does your advetized speeds are "Up to Xmb" you are never guaranteed through most providers a set speed minimum. Mind you not saying that getting low speeds is good, just that it can/does happen.

Re: Keep it!

True but I have found that for an accurate speed test you should download a large file. I also agree that you aren't guaranteed your speeds but you should be getting 75% to 80% at least. If you aren't getting that then you need to look into it cuz you aren't getting your money's worth. Now when I was with Comcast I was hitting the caps.
