well I have a RCA digital broadband modem, model dcm425 and am experiencing the same issues people with motorola modems are experiencing.

I have to agree with Dougboy. I started a thread regarding the same issue. http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=272957 I "think" there is a valid issue out there and it should be acknowledged by apple even if thier answer is, we know there is a problem and don't have a solution. That...

o.k. I tried using firefox to download the same files and got the same results, actually it was not as good because a couple of times the download manager would stop in the middle of the download. I tried changing my ethernet card to half duplex, the performance was worse so I changed it back to...

I am using Safari. I did download Firefox but I can't figure out how to download a file using Firefox. When I right click on a downloadable file, it doesn't give me a option to download the file, the best option I get is download the link. Yes the ethernet card is a 10/100/1000. I can try...

Ran third test. Took the linksys router out of the picuture. plugged my mac straight into the cable modem. Downloaded a 30mb file, took my mac 2 minutes 29 seconds. Downloaded the same file with my sony vaio plugged straight into the cable modem this time, it took 1 minute 9 seconds. Any ideas...

Sorry for my ignorance. So the test I should perform is, download a file with the size on both my intel pentium 4 and my imac and see if it is about the same speed? I have a cable modem and they advertise Maximum download speed of 4Mbps (or 6 Mbps). Speed range from 4.0 to 8.0 Mbps...

I'm new to Mac. I just bought a Intel iMAC. I have no complaints so far except for my download speeds which I can't figure out. My old sony vaio pentium 4 will download at an average speed at about 720kb/s but my mac on the same network will only average about 250kb/s. On my sony I've peaked as...
