[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1698838, member: 56379"] Two things: 1. Check with your ISP to make sure your getting what your paying for (proper signal strength). 2. Cable modem setups can be effected by other users on the system (bandwidth in your neighborhood is not exclusive to you) . If a lot of your neighbors are doing heavy duty web surfing (such as streaming video)…this will effect speed. It's probably best to check your speeds at off peak times (like 3am);) for max speed. If you look at the fine print for Comcast (Xfinity)…it says this: [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]"Actual speeds vary and are not guaranteed." [/FONT][/COLOR]- Nick [/QUOTE]
