The modem is a Motorola SB6121, which is DOCSIS 3.0 and (according to Motorola) can do 172 Mbps up and down. I bought it when I upgraded the Comcast service about six months ago, as my old modem was several years old and only DOCSIS 2.0, with maximum speeds too low to handle the new Comcast service. Similarly the router is a Netgear gigabyte capable router, purchased at roughly the same time, as well as a new gigabyte rated 24-port switch. The whole house is wired with Cat6 cable, and all the little plugs and patch cords are also Cat6. And both computers are gigabyte capable as well. But the important point is that I used to see my full 25 Mbps upload speeds with this same equipment. It is only in the past few weeks that I have been limited. Well, it may have been longer ago than a few weeks, I just didn't notice it until then. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
