I would say for the most part that my internet is pretty fast and I can achieve the advertised speeds (60Mbps) and even higher. Sometimes during peak hours it can go down to half and I can understand that. I wish it was a bit more consistent though. Sometimes, it seems like the internet will get stuck for several seconds or more, almost like a timeout, but then it will go back to be blazing fast. I usually don't notice it though, for example if I'm watching a video, as the video will load up so much in advance, it can afford to timeout for a few seconds here and there. But if I'm surfing between sites, and it happens, that's when I notice it. Again, not frequent enough for me to complain but I have noticed it on occassion.
Maybe I will try and test it at another jack closer to the where the cable enters the home. In my case though, the closer I can move the modem/separate router to the entry point, the farther I actually get from my wifi devices so it's a trade off.
I upgraded to the Hybrid 60 after Rogers allowed people to do so with the Cisco modem. I notice that the Hitron has more downstream channels. If I'm achieving my max speeds for the most part with only 8 downstream channels, does it even make sense to get the Hitron at all?
