<title>Bandwidth limits?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20945485</link>
<description><![CDATA[What are the bandwidth limits for Suddenlink?

I got hit by that the other day and they dropped me down to 256k.

I called techsupport and he said that was the first he had heard of it.

He checked with his supervisor and learned they had just started doing it.

But nobody seemed to know any details or what those limits actually are.

They didn't know what the transfer cap was, or how long it would last, or anything.

Just that they had started doing it.

There was no advance notice that Suddenlink was doing bandwidth caps, and apparently they didn't even bother telling their own tech support people.

I played with my usage a bit and it's not based on an hourly or 24 hour period.

If I don't use it much for a day, I can download about a hundred meg at normal speed, and then it drops back down to slow.

It's not based on what or where I download.  Whether it's a sp1 update from Microsoft or a mobo driver via ftp.

Anybody have any further info?]]></description>

<title>Why are the news servers so slow recently?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20964287</link>
<description><![CDATA[Until recently the news server speeds were fine, but now I get very slow, intermittent downloads, with many disconnects. I always get good speeds in speed tests (974.0 kB/s down, 62.5 kB/s up) and have no complaints about browsing or speeds from other sources of downloaded files.

Has something changed? I'm connecting with no login/password to news.suddenlink.net. 

Maybe a SuddenLink Tech can supply an answer.

<title>Problem using online backup</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20975812</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm in Abilene, Texas. I'm trying to use MozyHome from mozy.com. It backs up your computer to the their servers on the internet. I've got about 80 gigs of data to upload.

I know it will take a long time to back up, but I think Suddenlink is shaping/throttling my connection.

After I get about 20MB uploaded, I get a TCP reset packet. Mozy's support says the reset packet shouldn't be coming from them. 

I guess I understand how me uploading _tons_ of data can look like I'm p2p'ing something, but I'm not. Is there some way around this.]]></description>

<title>Suddenlink HD Sound Problems</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20957345</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have SL extended basic cable in East Texas... no HD cable box or anything. I get a few HD channels on my new Samsung LCD HDTV. On those HD channels, there are sound problems where it makes this weird noise. It's like the sound can't keep up or something. The voices are slowed down and distorted.. and the voices are hard to understand almost like they're robotic. This happens randomly and is really annoying. It doesn't happen on the non-HD channels, when I play a DVD, or when I play wii.

Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away if I upgrade to more HD programming?]]></description>

<title>Woodward, OK</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20964706</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am now staying in Woodward as part of changing jobs, and moving into the Oil & Gas Business.

I have had one hell of a time trying to get our Internet service up to what it should be.

First I was told my customer service that Woodward doesn't have but 1 speed tier.. Which should be 3 Mbps down.

The problem is, it's only 3 Mbps down when it's off-peak hours. During peak hours, our speeds are down to just above dialup speeds (90-150 Kbps).

The people at the Suddenlink office in Woodward told me they hear nothing but complaints all the time, but that their supervisor in TYLER TEXAS (HUNDREDS of miles away) keeps saying they don't have enough complaints to CHANGE anything.

What kind of business is this?! You need complaints to offer what you're selling?!

Not to mention we don't have real DVR service here, the Woodward office just bought a lot of Standalone TiVos and rents them out to customers. Are you kidding me?

No HD to mention... and, we barely have a digital lineup.. no VOD either, even though our Motorola cable box remotes have the button there.

Suddenlink, come on.. This is rediculous!

<title>WV Users, Would you recommend Suddenlink?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20936635</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well as the topic states, I'm looking to switch ISP's.  I'm in the SW part of the state (Princeton/Bluefield area) and have little options for internet.  Currently I'm on a spotty DSL service at 40 a month, I can pick up the 6m package from Suddenlink for 30 a month for the first year and 40 a month after that.  Also I have read that I shouldn't use the stock modem, but buy a different one, would you recommend that.

Any help on outages/etc is greatly appreciated.]]></description>

<title>Post 12meg Account Speed Test results here. 7-2-08</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20730030</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok Folks, Let try something new today. The immediate response I will get from a tech that comes out to my house is " Lets run a speed test that dont hit the bgp and peer out" Tech's who even can comprehend this is slim to none, anyway's it it not the tech who is local that is to blame. Ok, well if that what they want, then lets give it to them. The first link is a way to setup a SID name. So even if your IP changes, you can still pull historical stats from the SID name on the database reports link. Please use the same one each time you run the test. 

The other link is database that you can put your SID in and set the date back a few months to see all that is still stored on file. So, if this helps at all to get my speeds somewhat consistant, the I guess what Sen. Byrd said about SL bringing WV from the gutter in terms of avg. speeds may still hold true, but until then, looks like that pat on the back was a little premature since we are actually in the "alpha" stages of testing. Shouldnt we be getting paid for that? 

SID Speedtest:
----------------------------------------------------------
http://speedtest.wv.suddenlink.net/myspeed/sessionid.html

Database Reports
----------------------------------------------------------
http://speedtest.wv.suddenlink.net/myspeed/db/search

Now, this has been around since the start of their launch of the test site, usually goes back i think 45 days? But, it may not be around if this rub's salt into the wounds....]]></description>

<title>So Happy to be leaving</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20891865</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well, it is official.  I have moved and now I have fiber-optic 8M/1M internet from NTS-online.  No more Suddenlink for me.  No more blocking of ports or shaping of traffic.  Most of all, no more oversold network, advertising bandwidth that they cannot (or will not) supply.

And I'm paying less too.  It's a shame only certain parts of town can get this service.  It's certain you can't get it from Suddenlink, no matter how much you pay.
