[HamWAN PSDR] Ok, my numbers

I can't seem to login to your modem (prompted for password) to 
troubleshoot any further.  All I can do is confirm tom's findings that 
the link speed seems OK:

[eo at Baldi-S3] > /tool bandwidth-test 44.24.240.251 duration=20s 
direction=receive
                 status: done testing
               duration: 20s
             rx-current: 14.2Mbps
   rx-10-second-average: 14.3Mbps
       rx-total-average: 14.0Mbps
           lost-packets: 1280
            random-data: no
              direction: receive
                rx-size: 1500

[eo at Baldi-S3] > /tool bandwidth-test 44.24.240.251 duration=20s 
direction=transmit
                 status: done testing
               duration: 20s
             tx-current: 13.1Mbps
   tx-10-second-average: 12.8Mbps
       tx-total-average: 12.2Mbps
            random-data: no
              direction: transmit
                tx-size: 1500

If you'd like more diagnostics, please make sure steps 5 & 6 are 
executed on your device:
