 bhbest join:2006-05-06 Middlesex, NJ | reply to opinionmine I'm in Middlesex NJ and am also having problems I just noticed. About 300 down and almost 1.8 up. I was always at about 11-12 down and 1.6 up so this is not acceptable for down speeds anyway. I am just waiting to see if it clears up before I make a stink about it. |

 | reply to opinionmine same here in 07407 
Called rep, told him about speakeasy, he said, run OOL ftp test, and I did that.. Oddly enough, I had almost perfect speeds (15/2).
But the speakeasy is barely getting 300-400kbits on download, while upload is fine. I said this to the rep, and he said OOL is not responsible for outside speedtest servers..
Gonna try to speak with supervisor next time, maybe pinpoint to this thread  |

 bhbest join:2006-05-06 Middlesex, NJ | reply to opinionmine I noticed a slow down the last few days but didn't think anything of it as I was not doing any downloading. But last night around 11pm I noticed pages were really taking a long time to load and that's when I relaized something was wrong. Speed tests were less than DSL speeds. This morning 9am I am back to normal sppeds with the same speed tests and pages are loading really fast again. Here are my results from Middlesex NJ. Speakeasy- 11/19/2006 2:00 PM GMT DL - 13392 kb/s UL- 1805 kb/s 45 ms New York, NY ~ 50 mi
Last night was DL speeds that were barely in the 3 digit levels (100-300 kb/s). So all is well for now as I was going to call and complain this am if it was still a problem. |

Not bad considering last night was like dialup to me (I have regualar OOL not boost). So far so good today, though my speeds have usually been a little faster still. |

Also from middlesex NJ I have just completed a series of speed tests with some very mixed results. I have OOL (30Mb) Boost: BBR Tweak Test - all smiley faces BBR OOL test = 3.84 MB/s BBR Speakeasy NY = 752k/3716k BBR DC = 617k/3716k BBR Nacnet Parsippany = 12.55Mbps/3753k
OOL Speedcheck (from home page) = 27.073m/4.2487 and 27.226/4.301M
Anybody know what is going on yet? |
