    If I'm not mistaken - the new modem is still coax. The new one uses DOCSIS 3.1 which allows for 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up.

    I have personal reasons to not go with FLOW. But at least I can funnel things through my server - which has synchronous gigabit.

    On another note - seems like Starlink has reduced their monthly fee down from $8,500 to $7,000.

    Hardware cost is now $54,400 for new or $43,520 for refurbished. You still get the same warranty with the refurbished.

    Looking forward to next bill to see what the actual cost is - if it's reduced. Also looking forward to the upgraded speeds when they finally roll out. Maybe if I get the newer device it'll improve as well - we'll see - especially if they have a trade in or upgrade path.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    Speeds looking good. Can you do and share a test during the day or evening hours?

    Coaxial

    I asked the technician what's the difference between the old and new modem. He said the old one was limited to 500 Mbps download speed

    For all the tests I have ran, it's the upload speed that seems to vary the most. The download speed is pretty much constant throughtout the day

    I run these tests from the command line of a home server. Since my desktop ethernet got fried during a lightening storm last summer.

    I used vnstat to monitor the NIC while the tests were running, it shows the NIC reaching its theoretical maximum speed on the download side.

    I wonder what speed I would get if it were a 2 or 10 gigabit NIC. However, the ethernet port of the modem is probably also limited to 1 gigabit as well

    Cool! What does the new modem look like? If I were a betting person, I'd wager it's the TG3492LG (looks a bit like a squared funnel with an LED light bar wrapped around the top)!

    Yes, the Sagemcom. I got this upgrade from November. It has been stable.
