i know speedtests are easy to use and you have a figure to grab onto. but isn't it easier to do 10 downloads in jdownloader or utorrent and look at the total values? i mean is it really meaningful to have speedtest.net show you ur getting a shitty 15mbps, while you're d/l itunes from apple at 3 megabytes/second EACH if ur doing simultaneous ones? it's even more convincing to tech support if you can show him/her that by maximizing your wired connection using good NA servers you're still getting shitty speeds, it may really warrant a tech to come out.
i don't use their cisco modem/router's wireless feature (it's in bridge mode), but if you can get 40mbps+ wired, buy a better router. i believe ppl on bb50 and up were given these modem/router because they are docsis 3, and the wireless router feature was just added value.
