Ever since I got the free M to L free upgrade I have never seen a reported or even close to 10 meg whenever I test the speed on Speedtest.net.

If I were to use http://myspeed.visualware.com/index.html or http://numion.com/ I often see speeds that would relate to the upgrade, but never on that speedtest.net.

By the way is this normal on the modem log info

If it appears to perform as 10Mbit should apart from a single type of speedtest (Ookla Net Metrics) it really doesn't matter.

And how do I know if it appears to perform as such??

Speedtest.net always has been a bit flaky..

currently though working for me but wasn't last week (giving me half speeds)

Since I downloaded the TCPOptimizer it seems to give correct results now.
