You can get FastPath, but your speed will have to be reduced. Setting the speed to 2560/640 should help the connection remain stable enough, but you may have to go as far as 2112/640 for stability on your speed. At 2112, you're looking at about 1.7Mbps of actual, usable capacity on the download.

So i would have to have my speed dropped to get fastpath, what is the benefit then. They dont have FIOS yet here and I can't get any faster speeds. My son plays a lot of online games. Thanks for the quick response

The core benefit to FastPath is a reduction in Latency. In a sense, if your latency to your first hop in a traceroute beyond your router is 30ms, FastPath will reduce that by 20-25ms to something that is seen more by Cable connections. It does this at the cost of error checking, meaning if your line is close to unstable, you're pushing it closer over the edge. That's why I stated you may have to get your speed reduced a little bit more.
