Check the cable and modem!
Authored by: DamienMcKenna on Dec 28, '06 08:19:26AM

Another one to watch out for with flaky connections are the cabling and the modem itself. I recently upgraded from a "lite" 512kb cable connection to the regular 7mb service but my transfer speeds were aweful - speakeasy.net/speedtest averaged 700kb. After an hour of poking around at the outside bits 'n bobs the service tech who came out offered a new coax cable to the wall and a new modem, plugged them in and the speeds jumped to over 5mb.
