Time to bump this one back to the forefront.  Can't believe it's gotten three pages back.

I'm sitting watching a computer screen following the progress of a software upgrade in Luray, VA.  The system is slow and I'm using DVDs as the media.  I'm watching a screen that's showing about 55% progress so far.  I've got a feeling I'll be here all day.  Sigh....

As long as the progress meter doesn't start going backwards.

Moi?

Right at the moment I'm getting ready to change out my Comcast supplied rental cable modem (just went up to $7 per month) for a Motorola SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 modem. Gonna do a couple speed tests for a before and after comparison.

20 degrees here with a fresh 2" of snow last night, no riding in sight for me. A little more snow and I can get the sled out at least.

No, the guy next to you.  Make sure you update us with the results.  Can't wait to hear about the difference.  Really.

You don't appear to be faster to me but I'm considered slow by my wife's standards.  How did your speed test go?

I somehow managed to speak with a knowledgeable tech rep from Comcast and the set-up of the new modem was painless. I tested the speed before and after from two different sites, running 5 tests at each site. The average download speed before was ~34 Mbps and ~6.3 Mbps up. The average download speed with the new modem is ~36 Mbps and ~6.2 Mbps up.

That's fast baby!

I bought this modem from Amazon and paid $85, so it'll take me a year to pay for it by not having to pay the $7 to Comcast.

The Motorola SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem gets the Conrad seal of approval.    :thumbs:

Doesn't seem that much different to me based on before and after unless I'm reading it wrong.

Nope, there's not that much difference, if any really. But I won't be paying Comcast for their modem any longer.

Check your speed here and tell me what you get.
