well I am on the 6 Mbps plan and this is my results :::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 15036 Kbps about 15.04 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 1835 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/07/09 - 6:23pm Bottom Line:: 262X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 0.56 sec Tested from a 12160 kB file and took 6.625 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 187.88 % faster than the average for host (comcast.net) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-2Q647AKM8 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) [!] The boost really does exist but it is only for a very short time. If you did a bigger download you would notice your speed would drop back down to where it is supposed to be.

I hope everyone here has a great Thanksgiving Day.

well you are going to have to call comcast anyways to give them the mac address of your modem

Downstream Value Frequency 729000000 Hz Signal to Noise Ratio 34 dB QAM 256 Network Access Control Object ON Power Level -3 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading Upstream Value Channel ID 2 Frequency 37000000 Hz Ranging Service ID 316 Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/s Power Level 46 dBmV

just call comcast and talk to tech support and they can force the modem in for you.

Well if you really want to be technical you should test the signal strength of your main feeder line before going in to any splitters and then instead of using that 2-way splitter use a directional coupler with a value that will give you the desired signal strength at your modem (desired signal strength at the modem being as close to 0 dBmV as possible). And I would personally never use a 900 Mhz splitter in my house but thats just me.

you should use a 1000Mhz splitter because most cable companies use a 5-1000 Mhz system

lol

Well I dont know about anybody elses cpu but my AMD always seems to stay around 30 to 35 degrees celcius no matter what I am doing. Even when I was doing FAH.

I got that message around the same time today

treyaubrey, when you loose the connection does the cable light on the modem go out? also type 192.168.100.1 into the address bar on IE and then click on signal and post what it says

there were post on BBR about those modems doing that to other people too.
