1550 down and 365

You failed to tell us if thats in bits or bytes so i made a littel chart for you.

b=bits
B=bytes

Bx8=b

b/8=B

so if yours was bits heres it in bytes

1500/8=187.5 down

365/8=45.6 up

Your original numbers most likely were in bits so now that you break it down, your speed is average. Take mine for example i only get

300-800 bytes down
55-65 bytes up

I have yet to find a way to combine both cable modems, so i have two ips that perform the same as above
