Guys,this is really weird - i ve also been capped wid these miserable speeds of 22-23k constant on my 256k plan - bt a couple of days ago, i did a hard reset of the modem, ie took out the grey usb wire, plugged it back in n woah - cant believe - i m getting 250-260k dwld speeds bt ya the bad part is - it only lasted for about half an hour. However, now comes the weird part - i did this hard reset again n 2 my surprise i again got the same whooping speeds!the only downside is it only last for 30-35 mins - bt wt the heck, i can keep doin this again n again, i dont mind bt wt i am curious about is, has anybody else experienced this or is it just happening wid me? aah guess wot just got back 2 pathetic 22-23k again, guess i ll hv 2 dc again ;-)
