upgrade help - performance plus or business internet.

I have the starter internet package - 25Mbps download, 3Mbps upload.

I never get anything above 1Mbps when I test.

Recnetly I've been having multiple issues with my internet connection - its slow, its not there, upload takes forever like dialup days. It does get fixed when I get to tech support. But getting to them is no easy task - have to try after 10pm and wait for an hour or two.

What would be a better upgrade option-

performance plus (100Mbps download, cannot find upload speed)

or

Business starter (35Mbps download, 5Mbps upload?)

I did read that business internet has dedicated customer support. Is the wait time any better than regular cusotmer support?

Upgrading to a faster speed tier will not help if there are connection quality problems.

What do the modem's signal stats look like ? Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1

Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?

Is this a WiFi connection ?

Modem is Motorola SB6141

Wifi router is Netgear WNR2000V3

Total devices on wifi: 4. I've tried disconnecting and having only 1 or 2 PCs. Didn't really help.

Modem stats:

SNR: 36dB

downstream power level: 4dbmV

upstream power level: 47dbmV

I get similar performance wired and wireless. Download on wired is slightly better (1-2Mbps).

A friend of mine in my area is also facing similar issues. So I agree upgrading to faster speed won't solve all my issues, but atleast the speed would be faster when it works.
