PersianKitty · 04-13-2005, 12:36 AM

I recently upgraded to the 6Mb speed option through comcast. With my main pc plugged straight into the cable modem, my speakeasy tests run about 5600/580. When I add my Microsoft router into the loop the tests drop to 3900/530 and below. I've reset and recycled several times. Others in my zip code are receiving 6Mb on tests.

Anyone have any insights?
