Hey gang. I just currenty upgraded to Time Warner 10mbps down / 1mbps up. I had their 6mbps connection and was able to use my Linksys BEFCMU10 modem without any problems. When I upgraded, they told me with the bundle, I had to use their Scientific Atlantic DPC2100 cable modem.
Now, I have all linksys products, which neatly stack on top of each other. I called today and had them switch to the Linksys cable modem(gave them my MAC address and what not). After switching, I went to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and ran the test. To my surprise, the download speeds fluctuated ALOT, the upload was consistant at 1mb. Anywhere from 4.5mbps to 8.5mbps. When I had the Scientific Atlantic on it, I would do the speed test and the download speed would be consistant at 9-10mbps, with the upload still at 1mbps.
My question is, should I switch back to the Scientific Atlantic modem? Is there something new on the SA modem that the Linksys just doesnt have? What can I do about this? Please put your suggestion to good use. Thank you!
