I have been having issue with it dropping for almost a week now. I called Aliant, and the line test show a drop in speed. They were going someone out, but to the best of my knowlage they were a no-show.

An Aliant technician came out to my place and ran a check on my line, I was getting tons of errors galore, they replaced the inside box, outsite line via cable truck and the inside cat 5 lines etc. Mine is purring like a kitten now at 4.79 Mbps.

I want to smash my speedstream to pieces!
I'm going to put my comtrend back in the near future.

by the way, mine was out twice each for a week. that drove me nutz enuff to get on Aliant's case, I called the tech office to get the line testers in gear, and I called the sales office to deduct my account for the time I couldnt use my internet and phone.

Everybody with the speed stream you may want to make sure that your wireless is turned off. It could be that somebody is stealing all your bandwidth. I know my speed stream works great. I have my wireless secured and mac filtering turned on so that nobody can steal all my speed. I know when i first got it there was 6 or 7 other computers connected to my modem.

After the white Comtrends is the black one then the speedstream. I find the speedstream is better for me now that they fixed all the wiring issues and ran line tests to clean the line. Haven't had to reset the box at all.
