Our ISP now, communistcast, supplies a router by insistance. They throttle
bandwidth by the router. You may buy a linksys or motorola comcast modified
router but it must maintain the backdoor for them to adjust it to your account
settings/bandwidth. Also note that many of the stock menus are deleted by
design specs of comcast. A tech friend of mine at Cisco confirmed this for me.

You're absolutely correct. Perhaps lan speeds may improve but not lan->wan.
When it comes to bandwidth, you're only as fast as your weakest link.


.... When in doubt, tell the truth.
