<title>Strange speed testing results</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23780321</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Ok, I always used to post, "never trust web page speedtests", as it seemed they never matched a mutli connection to ftp or nntp.  Well for a long time now, speedtest.net and speakeasy seemed to match ftp and nntp speed testing. 

 Well tonight I am noticing the opposite again. Testing multiple servers at speedtest.net and speakeasy, I see anywhere from 5-8 mbps down.  But, 15 connections to supernews shows 18 - 22 down. 

  So, for anyone showing slow speeds from speedtest or speakeasy,  try finding another way to test.  Find a fast college FTP hosting large linux distros that allow multiple connections, or your ISP nntp service.  I am curious if anyone else is finding speakeasy and speedtest.net to showing false slow speeds tonight like I am seeing.

 I am not sure what changed, but this is completely different then what I have been seeing the last several weeks.  For the last several weeks, I have seen both web based speed tests and nntp and ftp speed testing to be slowed at peak times.  ]]></description>

<title>[MN] More DNS issues in MN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23704088</link>
<description><![CDATA[It looks like the DNS issues are back.  For the second Monday night in a row it was hit-or-miss when trying to access Web sites.

A call to tech support ended up with no answers, but the case did get elevated to higher support.  Still no answers, however.]]></description>

<title>[IL] End of Customer Service</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23778743</link>
<description><![CDATA[I specifically called Mediacom and upgraded to VIP so I could have HD channel offering and spoke to the sales lead regarding this.  

Got hooked up today and the order that was put in did not include the HD equipment.  I called to complain and the Customer Support person said, well I won't charge you...  Was like, what do you mean - like this was my fault.  

What ever happened to the customer is always right or at least mostly, come on.   The tech who did the install said this happens all the time.  

Why?  With so many HDTVs on the market, wondering if they should just phase out these clunkers, like I was left with.

While I'm at it, I know the unit was severely used as it was covered in scratches and wreaked of cigarette smoke.  Someone could of at least dusted the thing off.

I'm generally ok with my service and know what to order and have had few problems.  My problems always seem to dealing with Customer Support and those related issues.

Hope all goes well when I get the HD box tomorrow or I'm taking this as high up in Mediacom as I can.  I'm just sick of poor customer service in general.  I definitely do not do business this way.

<description><![CDATA[Anybody else having issues today, can't seem to get my speed up over 6Mbps for some reason, and the net keeps going off for about 10 seconds then back on again.

  

This is the fastest I can get today for some reason.]]></description>

<title>[IA] To MAX Customers: Average Speed?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23535795</link>
<description><![CDATA[Using Speedtest.Net over the last two weeks, I average 10.08 Mb/s down. Upload is 2.19 Mb/s. 

If I am supposed to get 20 MB/s as a MAX customer, does my download speeds seem off base to you? I am particularly curious to know what other MAX customers see over a period of time on average. 

I am using a Mediacom supplied SMC SMC8013WG router. 

Thanks for any information.

All other channels ive checked work. Additionally, this channel works on the pace box ive got on the tv in my bedroom.

<title>Did Mediacom know the Speed problems would occur?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23764239</link>
<description><![CDATA[I can't remember the date they raised the speed caps, but i wonder if they avoided raising the MAX speed caps because they knew it would kill their network.. but they didn't predict the other speed cap changes would indeed kill it like it has? What are your feelings on this?]]></description>
