My speed is usually good (though variable). After passing to a Linksys WRT54G router and by wireless to my computer, the test I have just done is as follows (the clock on the tester appears to be an hour slow!):

Test 1: 1024K took 448 ms = 2285.7 KB/sec, approx 18834 Kbps, 18.39 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 447 ms = 2290.8 KB/sec, approx 18876 Kbps, 18.43 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 443 ms = 2311.5 KB/sec, approx 19047 Kbps, 18.6 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 893 ms = 2293.4 KB/sec, approx 18898 Kbps, 18.46 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 18914 Kbps, 18.47 Mbps
If I was to put the attenuator straight into the modem then wouldn't I need one for my STB

Just q quick up date to say I have installed this Modem without any problems, I ended up placing the splitter box before the attenuator.Only problem I have now is that I'm only getting about 9 Meg on my so called 20 Meg Internet connection...
