Switching modems and internet speeds is a big difference.
I'm connected through start.ca (Rogers network) using a 250mb down, 25mb up plan. Often I only got around 60mb down, sometimes it vanished completely. I assumed the problem was with the Rogers network; the podium cover was missing, leaving the inside open to the weather. I didn’t fix anything until recently. I’d just restart the modem and router every few days when the connection would drop. Last weekend I finally gave up and started searching for a new modem. I swapped my Hitron CDA3-20 for a Technicolor TC4400-AM. Downloading with the old model rarely pushed speeds past 2MB/s, but now with the new one I’m hitting about 30MB/s. I hope I hadn’t delayed enough and would have saved everyone a lot of frustration with such slow internet.
Docsys 3.0 supports speeds up to roughly 600-700Mbps, though it can theoretically reach gigabit levels. However, channel limitations are currently a constraint.
