1167354 2011-01-07 21:20:00 Sorry, we have limits on our internet usage in New Zealand, thought everybody did ;).
Perhaps yours is truly unlimited.
What model of modem/router do you have? You may be able to access it's internal settings by typing its ip address into your internet browser (possibly in the instruction/installation manual (which also may be on your internet providers website)), though I think the Motorola cable modems that are used here have no such access and that only applys to ADSL modems.
. Just for some information -- to access the Motorola cable modem settings in NZ, the address is http://192.168.100.1

RE the speed -- WHAT happened when you ran windows updates as I suggested in post #10

It does say "up to 8Mbps", but you should be getting better speeds than you are, perhaps the cable you are on has lots of heavy users (over-subscribed/high contention rates?).

Call them.


Thanks for the info WT. ;)
