3 edits | I also live in Plymouth IN and it's weird cause I have a 5meg connection and it seems around 1am until about 10am everything runs at like 5mb/s. But than the rest of the day I get barely 100-300 kb/s. This has been going on since Thursday night like you all have been reporting. Runing a Visual Trace route we are being run through one of two Ohio Servers on hop 3 and both have extremely high latency. They are 71.0.195.249 and 71.0.195.237. I'm going to run another trace in an hour or so when it seems speeds are back to normal... |

| Speeds are back to what they should be and it's really odd I am still being routed through the Ohio Server 71.0.195.249 but the high latency is ALL gone. So it's not network re-routing causing the latency. It just seems around 1AM the latency has been gone "magically" every night as if someone flipped a switch than in the morning it returns and is there all day. You can almost set a clock to it... |

Yeah you noticed that yesterday before I went to bed. Now today before I got bed everything is fine. Maybe its some large server or something that shuts down at a certain time and then turns back on in the morning? |

Syracuse, IN | Well the latency was back to normal for a few hours this morning. Now it's back to over 200 ms. Still waiting... |

Plymouth, IN | Same here in Plymouth, back to the slow speeds as of about 10AM it really is like someone is flipping a switch during the day. |

Syracuse, IN | I still think it's related to traffic and usage. It's worse in the evenings and weekends (prime time for residential customers).
Also a lot of schools are out today due to Presidents' Day - more P2P traffic. |

Here in Decatur IN, we are still SLOW!!! Getting about 128K down and 300K up. Odd thing is, this happened about a month ago, I noticed when my connection is slow I have a 76.X.X.X ip address. Normally I have a 71.X.X.X address, and that is when all is well. Seems to me the 76 network stinks and they need to get it fixed. Probably be another couple of days as a previous poster said, Presidents day is a holiday for them...
By the way, Embarq dropped their price on the 3.0 MB service, but you have to call them to get the cheaper price, save you another $5 a month!! |

I talked with a representative today, and here's what i was just told...
Julian G.
I am sorry for the trouble you are having today . I will do everything I can to help you resolve your issues. How has your day been otherwise?
4:18:24 PM Julian G.
Thanks very much...please hold while I check on this - this might take a few minutes.
4:18:30 PM David H
alright.
4:19:34 PM Julian G.
I checked and apparently there is a network issue. Unfortunately there is no estimate time of repair as of yet...
4:19:55 PM David H
well this makes the 5th day of this lag, and its annoying as shit.
4:20:22 PM David H
Im paying for high speed internet, and im getting the type of internet given to those that use dial-up internet.
4:21:20 PM Julian G.
I do apologize for the network issues. The engineers are trying to resolve this as soon as possible. This issue was reported yesterday.
4:21:29 PM David H
That's a lie
4:21:42 PM David H
I talked to an agent on Friday, and THey were aware of this issue then.
4:21:56 PM David H
So why is it you guys are claiming that it was just reported yesterday?
4:22:20 PM Julian G.
Start Time 2/17/2008 3:40:00 PM
4:22:39 PM Julian G.
That is what is showing on the report.
4:22:41 PM David H
Wow, your offices are full of effin morons.
4:23:15 PM Julian G.
Normally the estimated time of repair would have been reported by now if it was Friday.
4:24:51 PM David H
Seriously, I talked to a person on friday, then i checked on saturday, and now im checking today-- Monday and your telling me it was just reported on Sunday... your company is full of stupid asses and you need better staffing.
4:25:40 PM System
Julian G. has left this session!
4:25:40 PM System
The session has ended!
Apparently they dont like it when you prove them wrong, I even offered them the transcripts from previous conversations. |

Avilla, IN | Yeah. I have chatted with them since Thursday when it first started happening. They always say 24 to 48 hours. So I guess 24 to 48 hours = A week? |

Well looks like they may be on to a fix. I just tested here at my office and we are now getting 4.8 MB. At home I am finally getting over 2 MB (supposed to get 3). That is a hell of a lot better than 128k!!!!!

My package is supposed to be 5000 d/l 768 up
I just ran 5 speed test and they ranged from 3500 d/l all the way down to 1700...hard to play online games like this |

It is "consistantly" bad. Wish we had something other than Embarq and Longview Cable around here. |

Syracuse, IN | That's your connection being congested not Embarq. Notice the 1st real hop is where the latency is.
Looks like they've fixed the problem at the 71.0.195.249 tonight. |
