I have a customer with a very old Check Point Edge appliance. &nbsp;They recently upgraded their Comcast Internet speeds from 20Mbps download to 100Mbps download. &nbsp;When we do a speed test, it never passes 24Mbps download. &nbsp;I took my demo Check Point 600 appliance to test and the speed tests jumped to 54Mbps, however, when we connect directly to the Comcast modem, we get 98Mbps download speeds. &nbsp;Any ideas why the speed drops significantly when adding a device in between the Comcast modem and the network?

Internet Speed Issue

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
