I too went and got a new SB6120 a while back, the download speeds never changed much but the upload did which is more important to me.
*Notice the distance of this test just to show how much better it is vs a closer location.
I think the modem takes advantage of what 2.0 is offering more than the others are but unless the ISP is pushing 3.0 with a certain package it doesn't reflect true numbers.
2x streets over to where I live now....AT&T U-Verse is available. That's where the house I'm in the process of buying is. Yeah baby...cant' wait to ditch my slow poke cable ISP with their max speed of 7/768. Hello U-Verse steady (non-burst) 24/3

WTF. When I called and asked what the Uverse speeds were I was told a max of 10/1.

Right from AT&T's website....when you build/customize your own package (because I don't need the triple play w/phone..just TV/internet)
Available speeds
3 (Pro), 6 (Elite), 12 (Max), 18 (Max Plus), and 24 (Max Turbo)
Prices...35, 40, 45, 55, and $64/month respectively.

I'm putting order in for Comcasts 50/10 package for an upgrade at a client of mine. Can't wait to see that puppy fly...I'm curious of they have PowerBoost on top of that...cuz 50/10 is the sustained speeds.

While those speeds are sweet, the 250GB monthly cap could get swallowed up pretty darn fast! Download 40 or so HD movies and you're done. I personally don't download much, but I know a whole lot of folks do.

Those are nice speeds. I'll hit the 250 gig limit with this client within 3x days...because I'm putting that in place to I can host a NAS box at our office and have them do daily offsite copies of their 100+ gigs of backup data.
However, since it's a Business account... no caps.

I've got the 20/4 package now and that's raw with no Powerboost. My tests sustain that pretty close cept the upload should be a little bit more.
About 190 bucks per month...I think that's an awesome price for all that bandwidth. With a business account..no caps, no blocked ports so you can run whatever services you want, block of 5x static IPs, excellent support...etc. That's incredible.
