Maybe isn't so bad after all. Granted, their brilliant idea of the all-in-one gateways (modem and wireless router w/ 4 ethernet jacks in one box) isn't the best... the wireless majorly sucks on them. But my connection is advertised at 5Mb/s... when downloading larger files, the PowerBoost kicks in and jumps it up to around 12... can't really complain about that.
