Start 2 downloads of big files, sit them side by side and add the transfer rate of each together.
This is the best method of testing your download speed.
Then try again with router connected.
Apparently the SB4200 can give 20meg, but if you can't get this speed during the night, I'd be looking at requesting a new modem. |
Ah okie
i just tried that.. and then after adding the transfer rates you multiply by 8 right?
My results download 2 1.4gig demo's from that site: (based on rate+rate*8=??)
The speeds were a little up/down didnt settle out alot but close enough:
14,464
14,248
14,488
15,096
Does that seem right? ...14-15mb line worth, yea?
So hmm what would you suggest i do? ring and ask for a new cable modem tomorrow? when my girlfriend asked earlier she got the reply of "your modem should handle 20mb line fine"
but i'm guessing if i say the speeds arnt upto scratch and i've ran tests as advised by Cable Forum they'll throw me a new modem free?
Kinda confused what to do lol... advice welcome
Thanks <3
