But my guess is you have other speed attachments on and although you added another 10 to what you had you are past the 25 to a stat cap and therefore the extra 10 wont be used.

i thought there was no longer a cap since the CU came out, i've gone way past +25 speed and still have been adding to my dps but now it wont go up any longer. before i added this AA i had +39 speed, now i have +49 in attachments. there must be a bug or something unless someone knows better, maybe a dev could help me out on this one.
This is no bug and you don't need the help of a Dev, I can handle this one 
#1 the +25 SEA cap per mod was never changed and is still in effect. The Skill Sheet always displayed more and now the Character sheet does too, but I have personally tested this and the Devs have responded to this at least twice, the +25 cap is working and will not change. My test was going from +25 to +30 in SEA's and it makes no difference.
#2 you are MBH so you are well over +100 Carbine Speed with MCarbs. Now while there isn't a hard cap on speed, the law of diminishing returns is now in effect (per the CU Docs and thousands of posts) so a +10 gain in speed at +125 will not do much compared to the same change at +50.
#3 your REAL DPS is limited by a soft cap imposed by the cooldown/cycle timers on Specials, so speed is no longer that important.....don't believe the Weapon Examine Window basically.

but why would a +9 raise my dps by 8 but a +10 by 0?
Maybe you could fully explain your template and your speed without any attachments. Then, tell us which attachments you are wearing and what you're concerned about. Are you way past +25 on the same mod? Carbine Speed? or is it a combo of General Ranged Speed and Carbine Speed?

There is something else going on that you have not explained, but I can assure you the Weapon Examine Window's Modified Speed will not change when you go above +25 on a single mod via SEA's.

ok, well i need +12 more general ranged speed and i'll be "ATTACHMENT speed capped" thanks for the help on this guys
Added the word : )
There is no hard cap but after about 130 more speed is just a waste of a socket you could put sompthing your low in at....or acc :0)
