<div class="moz-cite-prefix">+1 to all of Dan's sentences. I had a
WRT54G that wasn't able to keep up with the 50/10 speeds (it would
peak around 25mbps, and crash semi-frequently). I purchased a
WNDR3700 and it's able to handle the speed wonderfully.<br>
<br>
I got the same email from Comcast, on the same date. I'm also
using the SB61621.<br>

It makes no sense to start there. Rich people don't pay
more for their<br>
connections and Cascade is less densely populated. Comcast
doesn't cater<br>
to the rich; it caters to revenue.<br>
