Awesome.  My cable company doubled the Internet bandwidth at the cable modem.  They sent a mailer, which I have an instinctive response to throw the mailer out.  This time I looked it over and they weren’t selling anything.  I read it again and they provided instructions on how to reset the cable modem to get the faster bandwidth.

I had to put in a tech support call since the bandwidth testing I did didn’t show any change.  A big “doh!” on my part, the connection worked fine when plugged into the cable modem.  For a moment, I thought my router would have to be replaced because it wasn’t downloading anything over 4000kbps.  Then I realized this isn’t just a normal router.  I had QoS enabled and it was still set on the previous bandwidth settings (4000kbps was the max, previously, and it was doing a GREAT job limitting the bandwidth to just that).  I disabled it and bam!  11500kbps down.  Awesome.

And for comparison, here’s the bandwidth results from my DD-WRT enabled Linksys router:
