I'm exceedingly happy with the new speed 
! The cable guys came out yesterday and fixed the speed, although I had to spring for a new modem capable of handling those speeds. And now... every speed test we attempt shows my download speed between 60-65 mbps. H-O-L-Y.... ! The upload speeds have been consistently above 4-mbps. I really didn't notice much slow-down before at 20-mbps, but now it's nuts! And we did some tests during peak hours and still holding true at those numbers. Sick!
In regards to the router, we have newest Cisco Linksys EA6500 and the Universal Media Connector WUMC710 (we got the bundle a few months back when it first came out) which has speeds faster than plugging directly into the wall, so the speed tests coming from this hub are actually faster than on my computer plugged directly into the router! Nuts.
Anyways, I think you are right about they would benefit from having their own IP more than sharing one, however the entire household is happier now that we have 50+mbps
, and I've seen zero lag or drops in speed even when, last night, I had netflix going on the two tv's, was doing a speed test on my computer, and my sons server was up. I love it!
