Sweet! Comcast just upped my bandwidth... methinks by a little too much

Your download speed : 3097736 bps, or 3097 kbps.

Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Right at 3mbit/sec. Still not close to the old days of @home, but better than 1.5mbit/sec.

OK, they're close. They're both numbers.

Qwest 640/256 sucks :|

Oh well, a million times better then dialup which is what I was stuck with until Qwest came in.
 
I'm getting 3.8Mbps (Comcast in Chicago suburbs) when I hook straight into the modem, but I get dropped to 2.2Mbps through my router, even with cycling router\modem power and all but one PC idle.

Blatant threadjack: Can anyone recommend a good wireless router under $70 (802.11b is fine, but I'd rather have 802.11g).

EDIT: Oddly enough, I got about 3Mb testing on a server in\around Chicago

Wonder what the speed would be testing on that server hooked directly into the modem...

Try updating your router's firmware.
 
I have SBC YAHOO DSL and my contract just expired so I got on thier website to see what deals they had going.
I signed up again for one year I go from my 1500/256 to 3000/384 for the same price and thier sending me a free $150 wireless router kit. 😀
Im 2 blocks from the switch so I hope I get above the 3mb.

Why go with one of those? Get a Linksys WRT54G and upload your own Linux image to the router. 😀 😀 😀

That's the one I already have that I want replaced 🙂. I'll look into that Linksys.
 
Nice. 😉

I'm not too far off I guess.

I upgraded to this for the same problem (although worse in my case) as seen here

It did not help. The solution was to change the router wireless channel. I tried several, then got one that was perfect. Did a firmware upgrade too, but it was mostly the channel switch.
