Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition
said by Ripper  :Looks like the problem is with speedtest.net. Here's a trace to comcast.net. I don't know much about DNS, Routing, IP's and the like but I though it was interesting the we both pinged the same URL but it resolved as a different IP address:

It looks like we're all getting different IP's for comcast.net.

Why are our (West Palm Beach and vicinity) traceroutes not showing any "comcast.net" hops like RR Conductor and some others? Maybe Hob can explain? |

| Simple. The admin for the routers decided not to publish dns info.
All these IP addresses and routers are owned by Comcast.

You can look it up for yourself by going to arin.net and plugging in the IP's. |

Well as of this post things have slowed down quite a bit. No signs of powerboost at the moment. Here is my latest test:

From what it sounds like, I wonder if some of us have been sent the wrong config files, or maybe our modem are not configured or entered correctly on their system. What I mean is, if PowerBoost has been rolled out it should be allover in an area, shouldn't it? |

I could be wrong, But I am not normally

2 edits | I wonder if our node is maxed out, I can't get past 6300 down. This is a pretty rural area though, so I kind of doubt it, but who knows.
Edit-Speeds right now are allover the place, 1500, 2300, 3800, 5800, 6200, back to 1800, crazy. |
