Re: Node H14 Panama City Beach - Low Bandwidth

After 2 months they are finally getting things somewhat resolved. They have even been out to my house when I didn't even call them to run tests.

They have most issues fixed in my area. I have found that using anything other than the WebStar by Scientific Atlantic is crap. I have a Motorola SB5100. It never recieves the firmware updates that it is suppose to get via their system.

Since they put a WebStar in my latency has improved BUT... my speeds are still crappy at night from 3pm to 2 am. At least now they are admitiing the issues.

During the day I get my normal speeds until around 3pm. My lowest score was was like 22kb download one night. Hell dial up is faster than that.

Knology makes something around 90% profit on us data customers yet they can't be bothered to spend some of that on infrastructure improvements like node splits.

The Maintenance was for the road widening of Beckrich rd.

I heard they will start Monday adding the equipment for the data balancing on the beach (Wednesday night Thursday morning).

I was told there where a lot of things going on for the maintenance guys the last couple of months and the Internet problem is next on the beach. WE SHALL SEE!!!!!
