I live in Boston as well. What service provider do you use to get that speed?
Comcast ... I'm on their "Blast" plan.
How do you get those kinds of speeds with Comcast??
He signed up for their 'Blast' plan ;-)
Gotta have DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with 8 channels. Something like SB6141.
Yep. Don't take ANY equipment from Comcast. I bought a DOCSIS 3.0 Cisco modem and a Cisco 802.11ac Wi-Fi router off eBay and everything has been working very smoothly. Seriously, if you want solid network performance, stay away from household brands and just get Cisco everything.
