whoaru99 posted : Yes, "in order to use bandwidth management" but that's not saying you should or you must use it for general purposes. It only means if you want to throttle for some specific reason.

Turn off QoS in your router. All it's accomplishing is confusion and potentially limiting what you can pull down or push up.

"Uplink (kbps) / Downlink (kbps)
In order to use bandwidth management (QoS) you must enter bandwidth values for your uplink and downlink. These are generally 80% to 90% of your maximum bandwidth."

I can only guess why, but I'm sure it's associated with the same reason you'll never acheive the max speed advertised nor the max capacity of your HDD: overhead.

whoaru99 posted : Out of curiosity, why would you QoS yourself in the router when the modem will only provide what the plan allows? Normally you'd just leave it WFO, AFAIK.

Bypass the router and retest. Your WRT54G might be showing its age.

Wow, I feel dumb.
QoS was turned on with previous settings for the old plan. :P

[Speed Issues] Capped upload?

elliotm01 posted : Our household is on the 15Mb/3Mb plan in Fort Worth, TX.

Modem Name
WebSTAR DPC2100R2
Hardware Version
2.1
Software Version
v2.0.2r1256-060303

It's a DOCSIS 2.0 from what I've gathered via Internet searching, but that spec shouldn't limit it to only 1Mb up.

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS#Speed_tables

»speakeasy.net/speedtest/

Dallas, TX test shows 13.97Mb up, 1.01Mb down. Other servers show similar results.

Router is Linksys WRT54Gv2
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) mini

So, question is why I'm only getting 1Mb upload speeds. Modem is not charter provided. Could it be capped?
