Higher Speeds Tonight!

About 1800. Highest peak time speeds I have seen in a long time. Not as much lag either, which has always been a problem with Metrocast.

LOl welp got a call yesterday around 3pmish from Leo saying as of 2:30ish am on Tuesday Morning they fixed the problem. Any Problems to call back and let them know if it still isnt fixed.

Checked it when i got home around 6ish and it was ruinning better around the same speeds as you just showed Cal. Then i tried around 7:30ish and man o man back down to around 1mbp again better but still not good so i called him like he told me to do and left him a message telling him it was still slow.

So around 11:30ish looked like it was running up to Par at the 5.6bps which is finnaly the speeds i am paying for.

Checked this moring and it was still running strong ....soooo i guess ill see when i get home and ill post my results and ill even try to post that cool speed thing from the speed test site.

Craig, Shawn,

Can I get your guy's HFC MAC address? I would like to check something out real quick. Just send them to me in a PM.

I noticed Leo made that change Tuesday early AM, and it appears another change was made this morning, but I am unsure of what, wondering if that will help Lexington Park, but I just want to verify.

MAC address of your modem.

Usually found on a sticker on the bottom of the modem, labeled with HFC MAC:

12 digits, hexadecimal.

There will probably be multiple strings on the sticker, but the only one that matters is the HFC (which are used to provision modems and lookup accounts, etc).

Download Speeds are better but the lag has gotten worse since Tuesday??

On Tuesday pages were comming up super fast but today it takes between 10-20 seconds before a page even starts to load. Speedtests however show speeds in the 4000-5000 range.

Been gone a few days. I ran a line quality test on the 16th, but I accidently deleted it. 264ms latency!

tenpin, do you still want/need my mac address?

This is probably as good as it is going to get, for me.

i dont need it now, DSLR told me your IP when you sent that email, so I just went by that.

I was looking to see how much Lexington park was spread out on the router, but apparently, it is not enough. While a lot of the congestion was allievated, there is apparently some left since you guys are still getting bad speeds at peak times.

WTF? I've been booted offline, but someone has an unsecured router that I'm using right now. They seem to be doing OK. Metrocast is weird.
