    I think caseys do have great bb and normally when you ring them with a problem they would be out same day. But as of late when bb is down they block there phones which i find totally rude. When a person is paying for a service they surely deserve the right to speak to a rep or if the whole service is down sure i can understand they would be hampered with calls, but surely a simple voice message like, the service is currently unavailbe etc.... wouldnt be too much to ask for. At least you would know the problem is across the board rather than a individual glitch. Other than this, great service provider imo.

    I had a wimax rep, IN MY HOUSE, after he tried to call me a liar when i told him the speeds i was recieving from Caseys.

    Once i brought down the laptop and done a speed test, he soon apologised!

    I honestly cannot see them providing to me what Casey does. What speeds do they offer and is there a cap?

    Caseys is good and all but in the past few weeks my internet speed is going down the drain and its getting slower the whole time. Also the new modem is a bit dodgy. Ive had to reboot the modem about four times since I got it in june. The old modem I had was almost bullet proof for seven years.

    I am always getting the full speed. It was the same in three different locations. I really don't understand how it can be so slow.

    Dont expect anything good from that 120MB connection. I have the same router he will give you and its not a good router at all. I am supposed to get 60MB/s connection and heres what I am actually getting

    Did you go into the routers OS and try to change the settings?

    I gave Casey's my routers mac address and my internet speed has improved a lot. It seems like my router might have had a remote update this morning because I had to reboot the modem and when I did my wireless speed increased a whole lot.

    My wireless speed increased by 30MB/s today. Still day time internet speed is a bit slow. The Modem seems to think that my brand new Intel 1156 Core i5 motherboard (which is the latest tech) is an old connection (showing orange instead of green). The connection on m y computers motherboard is 10/100/1000 connection.

    Does Caseys intentionally buy cheap inferior hardware and charge us a premium for it? I am sure they could have gotten better modem / routers than what they are currently supplying.

    The old modem I had for about seven years was flawless , but the new one they supplied to me is dodgy. Half of the time I am getting slow internet access and I have to keep resetting it every once in a while. Maybe the modem I have could be a bad one from the factory.

    I just done a magnet speedtest and my internet is a bit fudged tonight with it @ 11MB/s I was sure I was paying for almost six times that speed. Heres my test from speedtest.net for the server thats always the fastest for me

    I cant edit my last post so I will reply instead.

    The 60MB/s internet and 120mb/s isnt worth the money unless you own a business. I dont see any difference in most websites with my 60mb/s connection so I am changing back to the 30mb/s internet.

    Well i am going to assume that you are wanting to turn off the wireless modem on your computer and just use the ethernet cable connected between the router and pc? before i answer that question could you enlighten me as to why you would want to do that? there may be alternative solutions to your pc problems:D
