| Ya Can't emphasize enough, use DSLR. This user sounds like he did what I did, read DSLR thoroughly before connecting, so ready for it. My story was almost identical, up within minutes of having a good connection. My speed was only 700 but I immediately applied the tweaks and has been 1200/220 ever since.

| Linksys the bane of BSFA I couldn't help noticing the reference to slow performance when using linksys routers with BSFA. When I go direct from my modem to PC or use other brands of routers, I get speeds of 1160+/200+. The linksys can bring it down to under 200/20. You've mentioned some tweaks to your settings helped you with your Linksys. What specific changes did you make? I've tried a few things, but without much success.
By the way, when I first got BSFA in March, there were several occasions when their mail server would be down, but now it up most of they time. I'm pretty satisfied now. | |

| Westell versus your Linksys I had a westell 6100 for two years in Miami and I recommend putting the modem in "bridge" mode and still using your linksys for routing instead of the Westell and using the modem as purely a modem. The Linksys does a much better job at routing then your westell will. That's what worked best for me. | |
