I've been running with cable for almost a decade. A while ago I upgraded to
20Mb/2Mb but could never exceed 12.5Mb. After half a dozen techs one finally
pointed out that the default modem they give you is not able to exceed 12.5.
The new one is an Ambit according to the slip. I've not been able to read any
name or model on the box itself. It is flatter than the other model and comes
with four Ethernet connectors.
(This I run into my firewall and then into switches.)
I now have something like 19.8 Mb/2Mb.
I've been looking at getting FiOS as a backup for when the cable goes down so
I'm also interested to hear what people are saying. There are a lot of
unhappy people making noise about FiOS. But then happy people usually don't
make as much noise.
