After replacing the modem and getting no change, and after talking to the install guy (Who actually knows his shit, and is smart on top of it..), they will be replacing the cables to the apartment.

These cables run right to where some major water line repairs were done some years ago, so we assume the cables were damaged during this time. And odds are all my internet troubles have stemmed from this.:p

This happens tomorrow, Wed, Apr 5. Soon! :) And once it's done I may be able to actually stream. Here's to hoping.
