If you are not getting over the advertized speed it could be a few things:

1) Your isp has really strict bandwidth limits.

2) the upgrade to the new speed isnt complete

3) To many people are on you node

4) You are on dsl(the replacing the phone jack thing you mentioned)

If you are on DSL and it happens to be SDSL you are being fooled by the ISP. The current capable limits on that technology are, as I understand it, 3mbs. Which would explain why you are not seeing the 4 that you are talking about. The router shouldnt effect you speed greatly but a firewall could. Post 2 download tests and upload tests. This will helps us out!

acually the limit on dsl is 8mbps i have sympatico they advertize 4000/800 but thats the sync rate like i siad after overhead u get about 3400.640 real world speeds u have nothin to worry about and sypatico offers unlimited bandwidth!

u have bell sympatico ultra right i have sympatico hse

the new upgrades that they did are advertizing the sync rate u are getting god speed after u fact out the overhead

iam on normal high speed heres what i get 2600/680

and they advertize 3000/800 but thats the sync rate

and ultra is 4000/800 sync after overhead about 3400/680
