After observing my bandwidth speedz for the day, I came to the conclusion that it was going noticably slower than the Ultra High Speed service I'm paying for. I called my ISP to check what the problem could be - I had this exact service at the old apartment and it ran over 2 times as fast. After a bit of holding and checking, we've come to the conclusion that the technician left me the wrong modem. The firmware inside must be for the regular high speed. So it's doing it's job, just not the job it's suppose to be doing. They're shipping me the correct modem so it should arrive in the mail within a couple of days. I'm going to continue using this one until it arrives as this is still better than being offline.

Anyone else find it funny how the technician I had to wait a week for ended up having nothing to do since the line was all set up for the internet due to previous occupants - except to give me the modem.

And he gave me the wrong one.

When I got my DSL they had to tweak the line at their end for about a month until it was all happy anyway, then, ZOOM.
