Video buffering, Slow loading web pages and timing out, Data loss
I have had my service just over a month and I went from crappy slow DSL to worse. I can't watch a video without it buffering every few minutes at the lowest resolution possible and websites will time...
Hi kf4ipc,
It's been a while since we last heard from you, so we will close this thread. If you still have concerns, please start a new thread and include a detailed explanation so we can better assist you.
I mostly watch videos on You-tube and I also have videos that I have to watch for training on several different equipment manufactures websites. As far as turning off wifi, I go into the wifi settings and unchecked ssid enable and save on each of the 4 sections. Normally all I see on devices connected is my desktop (Wired) , 2 cell phones and my laptop (wifi) when it is turned on. My plan just reset on the 19th and I haven't used my computer (turned off) or wifi (turned off) since Friday, and it already says that I have used almost 600 MB in one day, at this rate I'll be out of data half way through the month.

IMO you must still have a data leech out there somewhere. It's very easy to make a mistake and leave a radio enabled. I always go to wifi, advanced settings, wireless, and uncheck both radios there. This has the advantage of turning off the wifi light on the front of the modem, so you can instantly see the state of your wifi.
If either one of the two cell phones you mentioned is an Iphone, that could be your problem, Iphones can use gigs of data in a short period of time.
