Linking to modems for more speed ? - Page 2 - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I also got a dual WAN router and noticed it was crap! Same problem only 10mb throughput on each line and at times I would recieve a slower connection then a single modem. I tried with Wingate software and basically got the same result, 10mb per line.

Does anyone know if this is a limitation through the cable itself or a hardware limitation through the router...

i think thats using docsis 2 the coax can handle about 30-35mb but using the new docsis 3, speeds beyond 50mb are acheivable

Is this just a wait and see till virgin release the 50mb config file thing? Or is it wait till you can get your hands on the new modem anf flash it (providing somone writes some firmware for it).
