Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition
said by startech17  :hmm....doesnt that seem a bit slow? and yes, i did reset my modem Sure you got a new ip when you reset your modem?
Only reason I ask... notice the speedtest.net result for me - shows I am now 1300 mi from Ft Lauderdale while your test correctly shows ~50 mi, which is what the old Adelphia ip showed for me. (as Hob and Ripper explained earlier, zerostar's new ip from Stuart and my new ip reverse dns address probably has not been updated for the correct geography).
fwiw, when I did my 2am modem reset, actually shut down my modem, router and computer for a couple of minutes before restarting, not just a warm boot.
Dunno enough about this stuff to know for sure what's causing the difference though. Good Luck. |

said by hobgoblin :You have no latency. Dont worry about the tests. Hob It seems to me that there must be something amiss because nobody so far has posted the level of latency that I have and we are all using the same speed test site. You must know something I don't...so what is it??

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition
I am an Adelphia customer now moved to Comcast in Boynton Beach. My Linksys Vonage router stopped working on 21 Mar 2007 and now continues to not work for neither VOIP telephoning nor internet surfing. Service call man came says that it is my problem. One can link view the internal network and see ip addresses, gateways etc., but not get to the internet. Of course Comcast maintains that it is my problem, although it has been working well for over a year and coincidentally they are 'transitioning' until (supposedly) worst-case date of 29 Mar 2007. On 10 Mar 2007 until 16 Mar 2007 it also was down. Also, supposedly my fault and then it magically started working after a service call technician 'adjusted' the splitter.
This is in Boynton Beach (Leisureville). Any others having trouble there? E.g. my phone lights on the router are out, but the internet light is on, although as mentioned above neither internet nor VOIP works. My neighbor just signed up for Comcast and never had Adelphia and he has been mostly ok, but not completely.
Back in the supposedly bad old days before Ronald Reagan screwed up the phone company via deregulation this kind of crap did not happen. One would have a doubled up system and then on changeover it would be a toggle over to the new system. It was also cheaper than today, so much for the actual benefits of the 'free market' when it is really just a 'free market' for the cronies. |

In most cases this is true. If you are able to connect to the web with something other than the router then it would be logical that it is your equipment.
However this is the second time I have heard about a similar issue. Try cloning the Mac address of the router to the Mac address that can connect.
and BTW this is a cable forum....telco deregulation belongs elsewhere.

You do realize you are taking it even more off-topic by responding to my off-topic post with another off-topic post? |

76.108.xxx.xxx IP. Speeds are slow but i'm sure thats normal for just being switched over. Hope the rest of you fair well too.  |

2 edits | The same to you fastracer! They've converted everything of ours over to Comcast (our email, account, etc. are all now Comcast), except the network, we're still on legacy Adelphia stuff with legacy Adelphia config files. It looks like our actual network will be the very last thing they convert, though I would've thought it was the first, strange. |

Just a little update:
Speeds went way up in the last few minutes. I'm on a standard account.
Here is the before and after from speedtest.net
BEFORE Transition:
AFTER Transition:
The local server showed Kansas City as my local server also. As Hob mentioned this will change soon. |

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition
Jeez, flames off dudes and thanks for the suggestions. It is not off-topic the points being about AT&T break-up is that Comcast is dumping on customers in its 'normal' business processes that would have been illegal before deregulation and Comcast is providing/selling communication services. We should not even be aware that it is happening let alone aware and effected by it.
Again, thanks for the suggestions. |
