That ' s what I thought about my Time Warner router too I didn ' t have any problem with speed , thought it was great . I didn ' t build a router for speed , I did it for security and other features . But the speed increase was real and it surprised me , and knowing that now I would have done it sooner for the speed increase . Bell wants everything to work for you well . they don ' t want it to seem slow and they don ' t want to get any more phone calls than they need to . But , they also don ' t want to give you anything more expensive than they need to so they ' re not providing the fastest equipment available even if you ' re on Fibe . Getting a high performance router is like when you get a new smartphone and you never realized your old phone was slow but now that you have something faster you ' re surprised by the difference . Then you try to use your old phone again and you can ' t help noticing how slow it is .
