I wish I could get their super fast speed.

I just got a new router that took it from 19 mbps up to the 35 mbps. It increased the upload from 2.8 to the 6 plus. I'm loving the increase in speed.

I'm thinking about getting a new modem. Might not increase speed but I can quit spending $7 a month on modem rental. But, it's possible a new modem would up the speed some as well.

What service do you have?
