<title>[TWC] My DSL versus RR Cable Turbo w/Powerboost</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23308816</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have AT&T DSL.

Downstream Speed: 6.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: 768 Kbps

I decided to try RR Cable 15/2 via TWC. After I had it installed, I ran a few speed test and everything read close to 30MB d/load and 1MB upload. Again, every time I ran these tests, I got 30/1.

The problem is that when I try to download anything from anywhere at anytime, the download speed is half my DSL, so anywhere around 3MB. Does cable really work for anyone? I read a lot of posts here regarding bad service and wondering if TWC is selling a lot of crap.

Anyone have any idea as to why I'm getting such bad speeds? I'm in North Hollywood, CA

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>[TWC] Internet cuts off intermittently</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23290826</link>
<description><![CDATA[For the past month or so I've had the issue of my internet cutting off at random times. Each time it happens the modem becomes unresponsive (can't get the status page to load) and the only thing that fixes it is restarting the modem (unplug power, replug).

I called tech support and they of course tried to blame it on my computer at first. When I told them that all the computers on the network lose the internet connection at the same time so it can't be my computer they of course tried to blame it on the router. I gave up trying to get any real help from them at that point and hung up.

Since then I have swapped modems with them (both the old one and the new one are Motorola Surfboard SB5100) and I recently tried connecting just my computer directly to the modem, bypassing the router, and after a while it did the same exact thing, so it's definitely not the router.

When this first started the modem was behind two splitters and had signal levels that were pushing the upper limits of "acceptable" so I redid the wiring and now the modem is only behind a single splitter (it's a crappy setup in the apartment so I can't have a dedicated line for just the modem). After the rewire my downstream SNR is 38dB and power level is 0dBmV. Upstream power level is 47dBmV. All values are plus or minus 1 unit depending on the severity of the temperatures outside, but they're pretty solidly at those levels. As far as I'm aware those signal levels are well within the acceptable range.

The fact that the modem's status page becomes completely unresponsive when the internet cuts off leads me to believe that it's something modem-related and not signal-related but to have two modems in a row with the same issue seems rather unlikely. The only thing I can think of that would make sense is that maybe these model modems don't gracefully handle some erroneous/unexpected signal that they're getting from the local node and simply crash or go into an infinite loop. Does anyone else have any ideas?]]></description>

<title>Terrible speeds</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23282332</link>
<description><![CDATA[  

That's a "great" result lately...

Anyone else in KC having speed issues?

I have checked all cables, modem, etc.  Signal levels are fine.  A call to "support" results in the standard "no problems here" routine.

<title>YouTube (just YouTube) really slow</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23250770</link>
<description><![CDATA[YouTube is ridiculously slow when loading videos that aren't "SD", to the point where even if I leave a tab open with the video loading for a few minutes, they don't load in a reasonable amount of time.  It's like this pretty much all hours of the day.  It only occurs with YouTube.  I can torrent/usenet my ass off (not while on YouTube) at top speed, and pretty much any other site is as responsive as expected.

I was trying to watch an Assassin's Creed II video in HD, and on YouTube it was loading too slow to watch.  So I go over to GameTrailers and it buffers for a few seconds and then plays from start to finish without buffering at all.

What gives?  YouTube is (obviously) THE video site.  Everyone in the house is complaining that it's too slow.  Anything I can do?

I live in the Cleveland area if that matters.  I forget what plan we have, it's the fastest one available here.  Top speeds after the speedboost wears off are about ~1.7 megabytes a second.]]></description>

<title>Rochester, NY - speedtest is good, actual connection is bad</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23308209</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm really confused what's going on with my connection. This is my first time ever having cable before, so maybe this is normal (before that I had university cable...75MB down and 10 up, it was nice :)).

I'm getting 10Mb down and .3Mb up according to speedtest (I should be getting 3Mb down and .3Mb up, so that's fine). However, the internet itself is horrible. I can't even watch a Hulu video. I have to buffer it for 5 minutes, watch a segment, let it buffer for 5 minutes more, etc. Really frustrating. I thought maybe Hulu was slow, so I tried YouTube - same story.

Then I decided to listen to some music, and hopped on Pandora. Pandora told me it requires "at least a 196kbps connection, and you only have 109kbps" or some such. What's the deal here? Speedtest is great...but actual performance is nightmarish. What can I do?]]></description>

<title>[TWC] Warning Letter help</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23301714</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have internet service with Time Warner in NW Ohio. At one point I started getting spam to a mailbox and it was benign till the flood gates opened 2 weeks ago... The spammers are from china and send 100+ emails per hour to two email addresses of mine. I deployed Zen.Spamhaus and SpamCop to filter the mail,,, 2 to 6 still get through an hour...

The bigger problem is TW has sent me a letter to download virus software,,, it will not stop these spam pirates from abroad... I have forwarded all my mail to Gmail at this point and ask some of the pros here what would be my best course of action here?  

Why are my balls being busted while these pirates roam free deploying this crap???/rant...]]></description>

<title>TWCNYC WideBand: Beware of using your own modem.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23233484</link>
<description><![CDATA[I got my "wideband" modem installed 3 days after it came out. They gave me a SMC wireless router. By the way the password and login is cusadmin, password for those of you that dont know already. As many of you have read, we were experiencing issues with downloading large files, and the modem losing sync. 5 times techs came out to resolve the issue. finally after 1 day they resolved it mysteriously. So i decided to get rid of their POS modem, and use my SB6120 that i bought from Fry's when it first came out. BTW, the Best Buy is Rego Park has these in stock. Well the problem came back with the Motorola. The modem would lock up after some downloads, BUT i read online that if you updated with the latest firmware, (the firmware i had was 1.0.1.1. Latest is 1.0.1.8) all the problems would go away. That doesnt happen..... Time warner cable of NYC WILL NOT upgrade your personally owned modems. So with this new technology, and a lot of firmware upgrades in the future, BEWARE. A lot of bitching, and some phone calls to motorola and timewarner, i went to best buy, and bought another modem with the latest firmware (look on the box it labels the firmware version number) and did the ol' switch-a-roo. returned the old one. Oh, and another thing, it takes 3 days to provision, and the level 3 tech do not know you can use your own modem. Good luck to all who provision your own modem with wideband service.....]]></description>
