[TriLUG] TWC in RTP - 30/5 for $54.95/mo

[Kevin Otte]

It's not so much "capped" as just incapable. The CPU on the WRT54G line 
is a 180-200MHz MIPS on a Broadcom board. I had gkrellmd running on a 
WRT54GS (using OpenWRT) watching as I would pass traffic through. Heavy 
downloads would get the CPU up around 60-70%. This was on a 7Mbps down 
TWC cable connection.

I just upgraded to a 680MHz MIPS on an Atheros board (Netgear WNDR3700) 
and I can't get the thing to go above 2% even when hitting it with 
everything I've got.
