300 Mbps? Uh no.
I switched to 300 Mbps service from 150 Mpbs about a week ago and so far I am thoroughly underwhelmed. I upgraded my router and modem in preparation. The best speed I get from Speakeasy is about 140/...

You don't mention the wireless speeds you were actually getting BEFORE upgrading, but I'd be surprised if it were anywhere near 150 Mb/s. When they sell you these packages, the advertised speeds are for wired ethernet connections, not wireless. You might want to look into getting some wireless repeaters/extenders to boost your wireless speeds in other areas of the home.
Yeah. They tout optimized numbers, but every body does it. I got the same answer on my Harley when I asked about their proclaimed mileage I wasn't getting. Come to find out that number came from putting the motor on a dyno and not in normal use. It's not a lie, just not reality. We've grown accustomed to misstatement acceptance. Sigh.
I was getting about 60/10 Mbps or so, so I was hoping for better for a 150 Mbps line. Both the laptop and the desktop system get about the same, but the iPad gets close to 200 Mbps of so. I guess I have to be satisfied with what I have or go fish. I had repeaters for a while on my network, but when they died I didn't notice much difference, so I never replaced them. Maybe now that I have better speed potential it would be worth replacing them.
Estimated mileage, energy scores and bandwidths are all theoretical numbers calculated in labs. There's a difference between theoretical and real-world numbers. All marketers differentiate between theoretical and real-world in the fine-print. "...user experience may vary..."
