I recently upgraded to a 2011 MBP and finally realized how slow my internet is.
Right now I am getting 13 Mbps - 20 Mbps Wireless (tested on speakeasy) and have already reconfigured my DNS server. I'm on Comcast (FTW) am trying to figure if there is anything I can do to speed up my internet - given that I have terrible options aside from the Comcast monopoly.
Will Airport Extreme speed up my wireless internet? (currently running a linksys g-rated router, yet seem to be maxing out predicted speeds for comcast plan).
Also, would upgrading the modem Comcast provides help? I read about possible work arounds for manipulating incoming internet, but have spoken with people who seem to think that it is not worth it.
Thanks for all the help!
Edit:
price: I'm sorry your internet is so terrible.
Eddy: 3 walls, Comcast lists our service as "Performance Plus" 15 Mbps download. However, it seems much slower than this/speakeasy speeds in practice. Modem is definitely older.
