If I really want to take advantage of the down speed, I'd have to get my house networked, which is a costly item, or try and seek out a faster router, which may or may not improve speed.
Yep, these speeds are really nice when on a wired network. I'm ready for this upgrade (and Google Fiber), I'm running Gigabit ethernet everywhere. When we built 9.5 years ago, I had them install RJ48 jacks everywhere since the lines were already being home run to a single location. It's only Cat 5e, but it runs GigE perfectly.
I have the 100/10 service with the SB6141 modem. When I run a speed test at http://dslreports/speedtest, throughput is fine, but I get a bufferbloat grade of D or F, even when connected directly to the modem.
Are people with the SB6183 getting the same bufferbloat grade? I wasn't sure if the older modem was causing it, or if it was a problem with the TWC network. If the SB6183 reduces bufferbloat, I might be interested in upgrading.

I also have the 100/10 but on my 6183 my bufferbloat score is always a solid B.
RJ48? Is this a typo (same jack, different pinning)?
To answer your question:
Both RJ48 and RJ45 use the 8P8C modular plug and 2 pairs of the wires, one pair for transmitting and one pair for receiving data. The RJ45 that we are already very familiar with uses the pins 1,2,3, and 6 for receiving and transmitting data. With RJ48, there are a few configurations that can be used depending on the situation and how they are to be used. One configuration uses the pins 1,2,4, and 5 while another uses 1,2,7, and 8. Other wires are also used for extra shielding while the remaining wires are reserved in case some uses would arise in the future. RJ45 is used mainly in local area networks where the distances between each network element is relatively short. This is very common in a lot of offices and homes and is the main reason why it has become very popular. RJ48 is used in other applications, the most common one would be in T1 data lines where the wires can extend longer distances and are often exposed to the environment.
Hmm ,
What about the old adage :
You don't get something for nothing
What about it? Whoever created that old adage didn't seem to realize that sometimes you do get something for nothing when an organization sees competition coming and decides to do something about it preemptively. Competition is good.
By the way we pay for 30/5 (extreme) speeds and we live in the 27604 zip code. They told us that the upgrades were scheduled twice but have never gotten them. CAN'T WAIT FOR GOOGLE FIBER!
So I'm moving into that zipcode and was curious what dates they told you it would be coming in
(I went through this whole thread looking for that zipcode, this was only response with it haha)
FAST WEBBERZ GIMME GIMME!!!!
