It could be that the particular unit they gave me is defective, but I've heard similar stories from a few people. The modem/router combo they give cuts in and out and isn't very strong throughout the house. Bought an $60 router and it was way better. Mine's pretty old though but it was working poorly from the start.

Speed tests would show that it would hit the max speeds but would fluctuate up and down throughout the test. Downloading would fluctuate from max speeds all the way down to 1-2kb/s. Couldn't ever keep the speed constant
