What speedtest are you using? I have just upgraded to Giga a couple weeks ago and my DL speeds have been horrible... I get like 987mbs on the web based speed tests, but when I try to pull down files from the Usenet my speeds are all over the place, bouncing around from 90 up to 300 constantly. At that rate it is barely saving me any time compared to the old 150mb plan I had that would stay maxed out without any hiccups. I read on another forum a user had proven that Cox unlocked the speedtest sites to full speed but was throttling known ports/sites that are used to DL large amounts of data: Newsgroups,torrents,etc... Whats the point if the only time I see max speeds is when I'm just testing :-/
I use this:

I also use usenet and have not noticed any obvious throttling although speeds due vary at times. Right now it seems like my model modem has a speed cap of 300mbps despite having Gigablast. I just downloaded from usenet and it maxed out at that speed as did the speedtests.
Last week before "something" happened, I was getting close to 1000.
Huh... I wonder why I keep getting fluctuations... I have up to 30 connections and unlimited speeds from Giganews, I need to check my firmware tonight but that doesnt seem to have changed anything. 300 is about the max I have got up to now as well
