Cable speed issues.
Hey, i'm a new member here, but i've been reading this place for the past week or so. Seems like a nice place to be, so i signed up, anywho, thats the intro over. Now, to business.
I'ma new customer with Telewest signed under their 3 for £30 offer, which i then upgraded to include the 4mb cable option and additional phone serviecs (to a total value of £45)
My problem is speed with the cable connection i'm getting here, its unacceptable, when loading a page most of the time its like i'm back on 512kb, and sometimes seems like i'm on 128kb. When in reality i should be on roughly 3.7mbs (taking into account losses).
I'm using a Motorola Surfboard modem (Model SB5101E) which is now connected to a Linksys Wireless router. The setup works fine.
I know speedtests don't mean much these days due to the servers speeds and the like
, but still, when i do these tests i seem to get a throughput of 600kbps to 700kbps, which is totally wrong, it should read around 3800, correct?
I did a traceroute to bbc.co.uk, and here are the results, note that these are almost exactly the same results as when i'm not using my wireless router and am connecting directly through the motorola modem itself.

I'm just wondering what i should do about this problem, and whether or not it would be resolved... I dunno, i'm just looking for help and guidance, can my modem even support 4Mb ?
My wireless router,by the way, can support 54mbps.
