It really sucks how my speeds don't come near to most of yours. Is it because I'm on wireless, and not cable? I never knew it would make such a difference.

 

[fordguy]

iBurst is wireless.
Plenty factors to consider when doing Speedtests. Distance from tower, tower load (how many other people are connected to the same tower you connect to), etc etc.

I've got one of the original modems (6years old now) and it's still working like a dream. Based in Rietfontein Pretoria, tested 5PM
