Hi!
My Internet provider is Shaw Cable.
I was currently subscribed to Shaw Highspeed
which advertises download speeds of 5 MBps
I just upgraded to Highspeed Extreme which
advertises download speeds of 7 MBps
They also exchanged my ancient Motorolla
Cyber Surfer Cablemodem with a brand new
Motorolla SB5101 Surfboard Cablemodem.
My problem is that my download speeds
,when runnning some speed tests from various websites,
is always UNDER 1 MBps..:huh:
Previously with the old modem and regular Highspeed
I always achieved over 3 MBps consistantly when running these tests.
So,,What could be the problem?
Where is my bottleneck?
Could I have a defective modem?
I have a 3Com Eithernet card..Could that be a problem? :scratchhead:
Also, I have a wireless network set -up too.
So everything is running through my Lynksys 54G Wireless Router.
Thanks for any help.
If I can't get it fixed, then I will be giving Shaw a call
to come and check things out.
