SO.....I got the SB 6183, now I subscribe to the "Blast" package which is supposed to be 105 up/ 2 dwn Mbps. But since I switched modems and got the surfboard, i saw not only an increase in what i was paying for, but it went beyond what I was paying for. It was explained to me that this is because the "default" is 4 pipelines within the line, and when I use this modem the "normal bottleneck" of thruput due to other users with only 4 pipelines is eliminated, because the "extra" traffic reaches me through my "extra" 4 pipelines. Theoretically, if I subscribed to a "larger" package, my speed would exponentially increase until i hit the providers maximum for that line. And I'm told I share the internet on the junction box with only "one other subscriber" on the block, so my speeds are pretty much stable and steady. here is what I could copy, i couldn't get a screen grab of anything else.
