Not sure if it helps...I'm in Canada and just bought a Thomson (Technicolor) DCW775. I's Docsis 3.0 and 4 port GB and wireless n router (dual band but not simultaneous). http://www.technicolor.com/en/hi/digital-home/mediaaccess/cable/u-s/dcw775 I'll see how it behaves as I already own a Linksys E4200v1 running Tomato which I plan to continue to use as my primary router...but so far the THomson seems decent. One thing I think is missing (big time) is QoS...but then again, bandwidth is plentiful with channel bonding.

You know I always wondered what the up/download speeds were from my XBox since I'm running wirelessly (not by choice). Well when M$ put a IE app on the XBox I was happy. So I found two HTML5 speed testers. testmy.net and speedof.me. I did the test then to my surprise got a 1.5 MB download and a 2.7 MB upload results (average). I was surprised because I pay for 25 MB down and 20 MB up. So I decided to do the same test from my wireless laptop in the same room in the same spot my XBox is placed. I got 23 MB down and 19 MB up (on average). This test is from CA to a server in TX. So why the big difference in speeds??? while I also know ping is a major factor when it comes to game play, streaming video does not rely mostly on ping, its all about bandwidth. So I ask... does anybody know why the XBox speeds are so slow??? BTW before people ask; the XBox has a port opened (port forward) by itself. All games show my port as "open". Also I don't see a ping result, am I overlooking something?

First I wanted to say hi! cool site. But I have a question, why don't I see a ping test? Or did I over look it?

I really appreciate your website. Before I moved my upload speed was around 5Mb/s according to the most popular flash site and was also the speed I was paying for. When I live streamed video I had trouble with a max bitrate of 3.5Mb/s. Your speed test put my connection at a stable upload of just over 3Mb/s. When I adjusted my video upload bitrate to 3Mb/s all my issues went away. I've been recommending the website to all fellow streamers and gamers who would like to have a better idea of where their speeds really are.

I typed a reply to this yesterday. I must have got side tracked and forgot to submit. Anyway, welcome!

Hi from the suburbs of Cincinnati.. That's the same modem change I plan on making soon.
