I picked up a WGT624 router today and installed it. Guess what? Same issue! Hmmmmmmmm.

I tried connecting my laptop directly to the cable modem and saw downstream performance on the order of about 25kbps. Hmmmmmmmmm

I called the technical support line for Metrocast and they had me pat my head, rub my belly, reseat the coax and repower the modem. They pronounced it fixed! I restarted my computer and 25 kbps downstream speed.

I call technical support back and they said that the line was fine. I told them that I was still getting 25 kpbs performance. They said that indeed there was packet loss and they would have to schedule a tech.

Please, just shoot me now!
