I was trouble shooting an Insight connection on friday.. I saw 2200ms+ ping times to the the first few insight routers..  We determined that it was the router.. (WRT54G)   For some reason it was not behaving correctly even after a flash of new Linksys firmware.. Confused   So we put dd-wrt, a linux version that does void the warrenty, on the router and it has been fine now..  They two guys are getting about 4900/373

This is faster than I've gotten in the last two weeks. Had a tech out last Friday (1/20) who said that he wasn't getting above 1500 from the pole... another one came out Monday (1/23) while I wasn't home, saw my router and exclaimed that was my problem and refused to run any tests.

I have a D-Link DI-604 wired router and a Motorola SB5100 cable modem. Anyone have any thoughts, or should I continue to harass them to actually fix the node I'm on?

I've thought about it. Get this.. when I upgraded to Plus, my downstream was no better... and when the tech came out.. he said.. "it's not guaranteed.. only UP TO 6 meg" and I said.. "Fine, take it off cause I ain't paying for it." heh. And.. to beat it all, starting in Feb. they jacked my price up for basic by $3.

tech was out again today.. surprised they came.. however, he proved to me that my speed issues were due to my machine. So, I checked one of the other machines in the house.. sure enough.. speeds were average for Insight.

I started trying to troubleshoot stuff on my machine and remembered I had read at DSLR that someone said that older versions of ZoneAlarm could cause a dramatic speed loss even if you aren't actively running it. Well, apparently, so can the new versions, because after I uninstalled it, my pc's speeds are now average.
