I get 12 down and .6-.8 up plugged in directly to my netgear DSL gateway or wireless anywhere in my house, I have my modem in the crappiest place to, it's in the basement in the furnace room under the heat ducts, I get full strength on the main floor and about 3/4 strength upstairs. It's all about placement and channel and having a decent router to start with. I deal with wireless complaints everyday, this test was just ran on my iPad on the main floor on the opposite end of the house. Century link sucks!
