Currently running a Netgear CMD31T on Spectrum (formerly TWC Roadrunner.) Paying for 100 Mbps down, get a consistent 22-25.
I am assuming this to be "neighborhood congestion."
Have a Motorola MB7420 on the way. Question is, since this is a 16x4, able to "tune" 16 D/L channels simultaneously, does this improve my odds of getting good speed? Old modem is a 4x4. An adjunct question is, where's the (typical) bottleneck, is it their fiber-to-RF gizmo or further up/down the line?
Or if I get better speed, would it be more a function of having a more modern chipset?
Both are DOCSIS 3.0 but the Netgear is apparently a turkey, capable of 150 Mbps while most others are 300+. The Motorola claims 600-something. Naturally, I'll still have my cap at 100, but I'd like to have a good shot of hitting that. Netgear is showing green lights indicating all four D/L channels are locked.
I'll report back either way, but am interested in the how's and why's, and my odds of getting any improvement.
