That really sucks... I pay about that for my 30Mbit connection and I get anywhere from 30-36Mbits....Time to complain and get discounts!

Just curious if you've ever seen it hit higher than those speeds. The reason I ask is when we upgraded to 50mb at work, I found out my router at the time couldn't handle anything faster than about 22mb and didn't get the full 50mb until replacing the router with another brand/model. If it's ever tested higher, we can at least take that possibility out of the equation. If you're testing through wifi, that of course could also be a limiting factor. Just making sure before you yell at them to fix their crap and find out it might not be them.
The highest I ever gotten was around 30 down 15up. I'm using a Moto Surfboard from TWC and have my own router which is the Linksys E2000. I was thinking maybe it was either my modem or router but the modem I received from TWC said it was the right one that can get the speed we are paying for.Just curious if you've ever seen it hit higher than those speeds.

If you're ever home alone or there's a time when people aren't online (which is never), you might want to plug a computer directly into the modem and do a speed test.The highest I ever gotten was around 30 down 15up.

What kind of routers do you guys use? I have 5 other roommates with about 15 or so devices connected to our WiFi but we never are on simultaneously.
Wow that nighthawk was the one I been looking at before. I paid my E2000 around $120 back then I dont know maybe its time to change router but I'll go ahead and try testing my speed to the modem.If you're ever home alone or there's a time when people aren't online (which is never), you might want to plug a computer directly into the modem and do a speed test.
I got a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 for Xmas and have been very happy with it so far. My phone's wifi connection claims to be 433Mbps, which is a new high for me (lucky to every see 100+). I think the range has improved and my Chromecast, Google TV & Amazon Fire Stick streaming has improved.
I know in my own testing it can handle at least 60mb downloads. I wouldn't want to pay $150-200 for a router though.

At work, I went uber cheap and bought a TP-Link TL-WR841N for $19.99. 4.4 out of 5 stars w/ over 3900 reviews, I had to give it a shot.
I can try a speed test on it later to see what it can handle.
