| Hey all,
I just switched from Bell to Primus in November. With bell the connection was good. Constant reliable fast.
Now with primus the connection sucks. Long pings. Lotsa hops. Unsteady speeds. I thought it was going to be a simple switch but when I told Bell I was finished and was switching to Primus (long story) they put me on a Primus/Bell shared 3meg line that was super saturated.
Primus said my long pings and crazy hops would be resolved by switching to a 5meg line... after two weeks... got it hooked up but the connection is still saturated.
Tech support has told me on two separate occasions that Bell was to blame and that by the end of January these connection issues would be resolved.
Anyone else hear that?
I'm in Montreal. Wondering if Primus has any good network connections??? |

i'm in Toronto..and if my upgrade is due to the network maintence and not a switch to a remote its all good for me! I love the fact that my connection latency is way down and I'm off interleave and onto fastpath |

M6G5t4 | Awesome.
More changes have been made today and I'd love to hear from everyone else on how their connection looks now. |

| My connection has been rock solid since you've made the changes. I went from average latency of in the 200 - 800ms to always below 40ms. At night I hardly see a drop in speed now, whereas before I could hardly surf the web, let alone do any online gaming. Keep up the good work spepin77. I think Primus users should thank you for your great support. Also, thanks for keeping us updated.
Thanks! |

| I still have ~100ms pings. The speeds are fine, constant 4.5mbit down and ~.6mbit up. However I'd like better pings as I sometimes play video games (TF2) and playing with pings higher than 100 is not very fun...
I called tech support at the beginning of December and they told me that I'd have better pings by the beginning of January, but they aren't...
I'll have to open another ticket
