So I was just wondering if someone could help to get my connection back on track because I really want to play CoD4 again and for CoD6 coming out in November 10th (whoop whoop!). It may be my router, but I'm pretty sure there is no way to tell unless I got a new one, right?....[/ |

So, forgetting all the argument about speedtest.net (which centred on your neighbour's odd reading), both speed checks report
your speed as nominal.
Has your neighbour (Sarah) reported problems of the type you're experiencing? Like if you take your PS3 round to her place, will it behave as you expect? This is an acid test of some value, I think. It will eliminate or confirm the big whew speech I wrote.
If it works fine at Sarah's then you've most likely got a local problem. You'd need to check at your own place immediately before and after the test at Sarah's.
I think that damp pole strung wires would have produced a worse speed check result. Somewhere on this forum there is a rather more severe speed test check you could perform - I'll leave you to search for that and there's quite a discussionon the subject.
So I'd go back to something insightful that you said in your first post reproduced above in blue.
I don't think your modem is misbehaving. But the
attenuation &
SNR data is of interest and a modem with that kind of diagnostic would be immensely helpful - but not a reasonable price to pay for your troubles, perhaps.
So, the main "what next" recommendation is to go round Sarah's with your PS3 and see what happens.
