I recently had some accounting and trustworthiness issues with Comcast, so I dropped them and went with CenturyLink for VDSL2 here in Denver.
I spoke with the tech who hooked up my connection. I am literally across the street from my local node (I can see it next to my neighbors house across the street). I ran a dedicated line from the NID to my network room via CAT5e and I purchased an Actiontec C1000a.
Immediately after getting the service turned out, I did some speedtests and nearly maxed out the data rate I'm paying for (~38down / ~4.5up and I'm on a 40/5 plan).
I then switched my Actiontec modem into transparent bridging mode so that I can let my DD-WRT router handle things and now the max I can get down is ~19.5Mbps. I still get ~4Mbps up.
Is this a known "shortcoming" of transparent bridging mode? Is there something I can do about it from the DD-WRT side?
