<div>In June, Mediacom replaced my Motorola Surfboard with an RCA - claimin=
g that it was better. While I have not seen anything better about it,=
I have noticed that the web based modem info is not as user friendly =
as what I grew accustomed to with the Surfboard. For those wanti=
ng to see the info on their modem, go to url <a href="http://192.168.100.=
1/">http://192.168.100.1</a> from any of the computers in your LAN.</d=

<div>I just surfed over to <a href="http://speedtest.net/">http://speedte=
st.net</a> and performed three tests here are my results:</div>

<div><br>Average: 6476kbs down / 855kbs up</div>
<div>Should be: 8000kbs down / 512kbs up</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The results are not too bad considering what they could be.</div>
