I just switched to a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580. Result: Ubee modems suck. Oh, I meant that that was the only one Timer Warner Cable (my ISP) was offering with DOCSIS. The tech guy that just left my place told me they started getting Motorola's because of Ubee problems.

interesting. i have an Ubee DD3611W that came with the internet service (DOCSIS 3.0, and apparently this is the only one that supports it.) it is about 6 months old, but you might be right about the problem. recently i was told by my ISP it was behaving erratically because it took so long to acquire a signal after restarting it. i'm gonna look into that. i'll call time warner (my ISP) thanks!

CA3LE, this happens on all my devices. MacBook, iPhone, Win7-PC. The problem is most likely my ISP, but, what do I do when they send me to speedtest.net and it all runs fine? Am i losing packets? What do I tell them? I know for a fact that they're revamping my local node due to mass utilization. I saw my upload speed restored (had a problem about a few weeks ago when uploads were at 97% utilization at the local node in the area, so they split the node and split the traffic) My downloads improved everywhere but on TMN. And they don't really recognize TMN. So if I could say i am experiencing _________ (data loss, packet loss, TCP/IP double-uber-triple fragmentation) maybe I could say what it is? lol Also, this machine had run TMN just fine, my router is totally fine (factory settings... i didn't screw with it much), same with my MacBook. Both don't do very well with TMN now (see the results posted.)

woops, i posted on the wrong thread. please ignore my last post.

i'm having the same issue... :::..

Im also having the same problem. I am supposed to get 30/5 with Road runner, but here i consistently get 9/5, 12/5, 8/5, etc. Through flash-based tests (speedtest.net, speakeasy.net) I get the full 30/5, even when testing from Texas (im in new york state), and i just downloaded the spotify installer and it went at ~2.4MB/sec, which is above 20 Mbps down. Here's my setup: Im directly connected to my ubee DW3611 modem (gigabit ethernet, 1.0 Gbps) I have my PS3 also hooked up to it by ethernet cable, and an airport extreme connected by cable as well (for wireless) So what's this intermittent issue and how do I fix it. Sometimes my webpages don't load so I think this points to something like that.
