Signed up for preferred but only getting 32Mpbs

Hi,

I'm a preferred internet customer and I upgraded my modem to a new Motorola SB6141 to take advantage of the 50Mbps download. Since day 1 speed tests consistently show 32Mbps download and 3-4Mbps upload. I called support and had a tech come out, he said the signal was fine and blamed my router. I'm now plugged directly into the modem and I'm still getting exactly the same speed. I've tried several different Widows 7 laptops and a Windows 7 pc and I'm getting the same 32Mbps download speeds.

Does anybody have any idea how I can get the speeds I'm paying for? I was considering upgrading to premier but don't know if its worth it if I can only get 32Mbps with the preferred.

Sounds like the typical configuration file issue. I suspect a moderator will post shortly to help/fix. If you want it done faster (if no moderator on right now) you can also call them and ask them to make sure the "DOCSIS 3.0 Premier service code" is set on your account. They should know what that means.

Thank you, Chris. Whatever you did worked. Speed test now ranges from 50-55 Mbps.
