Wow 2mbps in both directions. My maximum downstream with the current cap on my able modem is 1.5mbps and the upstream is capped at 192kbps. I would love to have 2mbps in both directions. That would kick a*s.

Nice! Wanna lemme in on the secret? I've used the SpeedGuide tweaks but the best I've managed so far is 3.2mbps down/0.9mbps up. I usually average around 1.9 down / 0.9 up.

Ya AT&T sucks. I average about 1500/280 off peak(capped at 300up). The funny thing is that that is a vast improvement from when it was "really slow"(700/120 off peak).

I thought this was a good idea until I couldn't think of anything witty.
