Im a newbie when it comes to modems and such. I currently have a v4 lne100tx, with a di-704 dlink router, motorola cable modem.
Supposedly from a check that I did with the bandwidth place tells me that my connection is at 1.5mbs which is "fantastic." However when I use certain programs to download it seems that I'm not getting the speed that Im capable of. I've looked through posts of other users and found that they dl at speeds of up to 150kbs but i usually only get 5kbs if lucky. I know the site i dl from is a factor but does my modem suck? In other words can the type of modem i have affect my speed?
