Gringinho, I hope you solved the problems with the cable modem. I had similar experience with the cable techs. When I first got mine installed the advertised speed was 1.5MB/s. After the tech installed and tweaked mine I was getting about 0.75MB/s and the guy tried 1.5 hours to tweak it further. Then he gave up saying something like this is the best I'll get! Well after he left , I found some tweaks on the Net and brought it up to 1.5MB/s!

What did you find to speed things up? I got spoiled at my last home; I had Comcast and they gave me 5.3 MBPS for about $40 a month. Now I have Road Runner from Time Warner and it seems to crawl at about 1.2. It's also not nearly as reliable. They have a premium package advertised at 6.0 so I think I will upgrade and probably get DSL for backup.
Cheers,
TRADERguy

Glad (and quite surprised) to see at I've got an audience, if only of one hehe. Thanks man, this will motivate me to keep posting for at least a few more weeks![]()
