Just changing out the Modem alone makes a HUGE difference!
I just swapped out my old Modem, an Ambit U10C018, and installed the new DOCSIS 3 compliant Motorola SB6121:
On Speedtest.net just before disconnecting the old Modem, I got 25, 27, 29 and last was 28Mbps download speed.
On Speedtest.net just after hooking up the new Motorola modem I am consistantly getting 62, 63, 64 and last was 64Mbps download speed!
Upload stayed the same...
Jitter on the old modem was over 5ms each time, reaching up to 9ms
After the Motorola install, jitter went down a whole bunch, down to 1ms everytime with 4 tests on the Pingtest.net site.
This is basically a "Free" upgrade in internet speed...I was paying $7 per month for a bottlenecking slow modem, I paid $100 for the Motorola and it will pay for itself in just over a year..
I have doubled my internet download speed for free! And.... my internet bill will drop to about $47 per month.
I have read that for any internet speed 10Mbps or more, if you have the DOCSIS 3 network, you will see considerable gains by using the Motorola SB6121 modem...
Glad I did...
