Century Link must change when they cross 466A, I live 1/2 mile north near Sterling Hgts Rec Center and have had CL since July 2011, almost nine years. I have fiber optic since day one, no modem, I plug my computer or router directly into the wall jack at he end of the bar in the kitchen. I also only have 10 mpbs but everytime I run a test, it's always right on 10.1. It's also strong enough that I can watch youtube videos on my smart TV and have no lag. I've considered asking for a higher speed but really don't find a need. Maybe if I start streaming TV, but I have Directv since 2008. You might call CL and see if fiber optic has reached your neighborhood?

I am pretty sure he has fiber to the house since he is south of 466a.

Are you sure the modem is just a modem. We have Centurylink and they supplied a router. You might want to call Centurylink and ask about the low download speed. We had that problem once and they came out and there was a problem in the box outside when they fixed that problem they fixed the low download speed.

How are you checking your speed? I have CL 1G/B service, check speed with the modem controller, usually 500- 700 M/B. $65/mo no tax or fees, fiber right into my office. You tube TV with smart TV's service is wonderful. Spectrum is not available up here near Nacy Lopez. I have the Google 3 node modem, it's great.

Reread post #5 and then post what download speed you are seeing from a computer connected with coax cable instead of using WiFi.

We dropped CL due to the very slow speed. Supposed to have 20mbs, rarely had half of that. Went with Xfinity 60mbs for sbout the same cost and bought a Netgear router/modem and an extender. Stream 3 tvs, have 3 cell phones(one is a home unit), an Ipad, a surface pro and an HP large laptop. Downloaded an MBS tester on my cell and check the ping, upload and download speeds periodically. Always get 60mbs and many times more for the download speeds.

I know people love to “hate” Comcast. However I am getting about 120 mbps download while using a VPN and over 200 mbps without the VPN connected. We steam on a ROKU and a couple of iPads connected without problems.
