Re: [TWC] TW Officially Announces Packet Shaping for All RR User
you've only tested this for one night? try testing it for a week or more and see what happens. my problems seem to fix themselves on its own sometimes and that lasts for about a day or two. usually a day. last week my entire cable service went out, tv and internet, for over 24 hours. this affected my entire block. when service was restored, i found my speeds to be in tip-top shape, even during peak hours. then the next day, it went back to crap. seems like the node gets congested after heavy use and it needs a reset every once in a while. either that or its just broken. |

Is there something wrong with the NYC server for speedtest.n
So I decided to run some more speed tests just now since this was witching hour, when the speeds would typically drop dead. I remembered previously, I had run speed tests only using Road Runner's test at speedtest.nyc.rr.com so I decided to head over to speedtest.net (incidentally, there was other evidence that my speeds were fine like getting torrent downloads in the 700 kB/s range, which is fantastic). I used the New York server and pings were low but my downloads were only showing in the 3000-5000 range. Uh oh. Problem not fixed?
I went to speakeasy.net and it said I was getting 9000+, same as the Road Runner test. I returned to speedtest.net and ran a test using the Clifton, NJ server. It also reported 9000+ download. I even tried the San Francisco server and, although ping times were above 100ms, download transfers were in the 9000 kbps range. So is something up with the NY server on speedtest? |

Yes, the speedtest.net NY server has had issues with slow speeds for months. |

It's been about a week and my speeds remain high and stable. It looks like in my case, Road Runner fixed a problem with my building's tap and restored my speeds. |
