I have Roadrunner Broadband Internet and I am currently getting speeds of 339.4KB/s down and I am using the cable modem they provided me with. If I go out and buy THIS cable modem, do you think I would get faster download speeds?
All Members from Canada...
Read the fine print...your Modems are rated at "Up to 3.0 - 5.0 Mbps"...that doesn't mean you're going to get that speed.
Rogers & Shaw both are saying the same thing... Up to 3.0 - 5.0 Mbps. Not a guaranteed 3 - 5 Mbps.
My new DSL modem is rated at "Up to 15 Mbps...but I'm not going to get that speed. If I did...it would give Windows a heart attack.
So all in all...you're are right at 1.5 just like the rest of us. The FCC regulates the speed...the next jump will be 2.0 Mbps, but not for awhile.
My ADSL modem's rated at 8.192/1.024Mbps - of course, I inevitably am incapable of experiencing this speed.
Roadrunners advertised speed is 3.0 mbps down and 512 kbps up. Do you think I might be able to get more speed with a different modem other than the one they provided me with?Quote:

@ jaighandhi, over here bell's upload speed is less than half of rogers's...and that just upgraded my area so tehre are less people connected to each server (this is how the dude explained it lol) so we won't experience any slowdowns at all...which i don't.
lol i live in like a populated area our area gets all the upgrades first and thers lots of ppl with rogers in my area so sometimes i even used to get kiked off the network and the speed weren't as advertised..... <_<
but with bell the speeds stay the same and never been kiked off :D and the upload speed is like double rogers over here :lol:
:lol:Quote:

Anybody?
I just read your previous posts and 3mbits is approximately equal to the download speed of 339.4KB/s that you quoted earlier.Quote:

so buying another modem is unecessary.
