I recently upgraded from 20meg to 50meg. In the last few weeks I was seeing phenominal speeds from 20meg, I was getting upwards of 2.5MBp/s with it.
Anywho, after upgrading to 50meg and getting the new modem, after downloading a few gig's worth of data via newsgroups the connection seems to struggle and speeds go from 5.5MBp/s to less than 1MBp/s.
Not only when do my newsgroups go slow the whole HTTP goes slow too. The problem seems to get rectified after turning the modem off for 20 seconds then turning it back on.
I have tried all different combinations of hardware to make sure than the problem is with the modem.
Any idea's? Could I have gotten a duff modem?
