Premier Speed
Yesterday I upgraded from Preferred to Premier. On Preferred, I was getting download speeds between 55 and 60
using Speedtest as a basis, Now with Premier, I am getting 80 to 85, with everything else being the same, Ethernet connection direct to router, a Cisco DPW3925.
Is there anything else I should check or change?
( I almost feel silly complaining about 80 mbs, my first modem was 6kps, or 6 baud, It took over an hour to download a two page document....)

First thought ... What are you connect with ... many laptops only come with a 100Mbps Ethernet port, not a gigabit port. If you are connecting at 100Mbps, 85 is possible. Make sure you test using a gigabit port and Cat6 cable.
BTW, going back, my 1st modem was 300baud with an acoustic coupler, dial the number on the phone then place the handset in the cradle I upgraded to a 1200baud direct dial modem ... boy did that seam fast and no more phone cradle.
