Thanks for all the info guys!!
Hope it was helpful to anyone else with a similar network setup like mine.

Was meaning to get a wireless router sooner or later since IT friends re-discovering where I live now that I have FLOW 6MB...
lol ;p

HAHA..."15 Mbps"... pure coincidence in that banner i'm sure

On the 6 MB package and getting 59XX kbps/ 9XX kbps consistently on Speakeasy.net speedtest as my early screenshot showed. Speeds always slower (57XX kbps) on POS Flow test server.

Hope they fix your problem soon.

Thanks jaiume for the detailed information about what I would need to get the PC's locally networked again.

Had assumed the Arris would feature some sort of router-like functionality (NAT, UPnP, Internet Gateway, hardware Firewall) as the Speedstream (& Paradyme too) and many other DSL modems support those.

I dont mind the PC's being directly connected to the internet. Windows is well protected and they run various Linux distros of late.

I've seen some routers and "residential gateway devices" from Linksys, etc that include multiple LAN ports (among plethora of features), which would incorporate and eliminate the function of the Switch. Or is their any advantage to still use the Switch?
By chance, what particular model broadband routers would you recommend I look at to fulfill these needs?

Thanks again,
Johann

My FLOW 6/1MB using local test server:

Jus wondering if its in line with what other 6MB'ers getting too??

Strangely enough, when I do a speedtest on http://www.speakeasy.net/ speedtest/ , I get even faster results!!?

My results using the "Atlanta, GA" server is even faster than the locally based FLOW speedtest server.... How is this??


Thanks!

Wow....that $460/month for 2Mb Wireless DSL is rather tempting. I'm willing to give this relatively new service a chance cause I know people on WOW.net Dial-Up who say the service is fine. I do, however, have DirecTV so I have first-hand knowledge what a little rain will do for satellite communications. But after over a year this TSTT, 256Kb is really getting limiting with no upgrade in sight. Anyone have hands-on report & experience with this service to see what the actual speed, latency, etc is like?

ah my friend, jevolution, you are wrong. Hexxx is correct.

from here. Remember guys, GIYF (Google Is Your Friend).


Also, this 2Mb(bit) service would yield upto 250KB(bytes)/sec max theoretical download speed.
