It was my Modem all along
I have Charter internet 5Mbps. My 2 main rigs were connected directly through a Linksys Wireless-G router and a D-Link Cable Modem. I have a pretty crappy connection and was never sure what the problem was. For instance, I downloaded Avira Anti-Virus (32MB) with the D-Link and it took over two minutes. I bought the Motorola Surfboard and made the switch.
Now it takes 42 seconds to download Avira!

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
Re: It was my Modem all along
I also have a Motorola modem, but I'm not sure which one. My internet connection is solid as can be, and I get a reliable 5mbps. I used to have a 10mbps connection, but I just can't justify the cost these days.

Now that it's faster, I think that I'll go down to 3Mbps and save money

Re: It was my Modem all along
I'm currently at 3mbps and I love it. Its the perfect performance to price ratio in my opinion. I also can't justify paying more for a faster connection and one that I really don't benefit too strongly from. The 3mbps handles pretty much everything I do just fine.
