Probably not the solution you're looking for just for gaming use, though.



Correct. Screw it, for now I think I'll just grab that $10 Zalman clip on mic until I find something else I like.

for 100Mbps, I would recommend an 8x4, like the 6141.



Either one, the 6121 is good for up to 172Mbps while the 41 is up over 300. For his use either would be fine, a matter of $65 vs $90. I personally have the 6141 as well.

The issue is the bandwidth per channel. In a neighborhood full of other cable subscribers your bandwidth will never fully saturate a single channel, especially during peak usage. Docsis 2.0 uses a single channel, up to 43mbps, and Cox pushes distributed bandwidth through 8 channels, so if he's paying for 100 and getting 18 down on a docsis 2.0 modem, there are enough people on the node to bottleneck the bandwidth per channel. Otherwise, he'd be getting closer to 40-ish. 4 downstream channels would net him 72 mbps under those same conditions. 8 downstream channels would get him the full 100.
