Intermittent Loss and Slow Speeds

So I have had the service about 5 months and this is the slowest I have had speeds since I had it installed. I am setup on a D-Link router and have as many as 3 computers (the most that's on at any time is 2, but mostly just mine). My NIC has started to lose connection every 5 minutes or so (but reconnects).

By the way running WinXP Professional SP2

Are the results from the speedtest. I have even unhooked the only phone in the apartment to speeds no better. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Best bet is to call them and bug them.

My DSL has been the exact same thing.... That is ever since AT&T took over SBC. I've had the DSL account since 2000 and never once did I lose my connection. I would consider going back to cable... but comcast is just as bad...

I am having that issue aswell. I think everyone is. It just started about a week ago. I'm getting the same speeds you are. I was also thinking of switching services. I have had many problems before with after At&t took over but never this one. I think we should both call them again and mention that you think its happening to a wide range of their customers.

I can't even watch a YouTube clip takes FOREVVERR.

Same problem here too. I was having a hard time with my connection. I'm still having problems with it but currently it's good now.

For you does it go bad for a while and good for a while and back to bad for a while and good for a while and so on and so on???

I actually had to call tech support and they stated they seen the problem. Apparently, they had set me at the slow end, even though I was paying 50 a month for the really fast speeds. After that I am good...

Yeah, the problem is getting better, it was a whole lot worse a few weeks ago when this 1st started happening.

50 dollars a month. Elite is only 35 per month.

I'm Pro and paying 30 a month.

The slow speeds have hit me a few days ago. I used to be able to hit 5000kbps and now it hovers at about 1300kbps.

You know, bugging them is going to make it any better for you. I know for a fact that many users are not familiar with the equipment they have, nor the OS they are running, neither the package the ISP is providing them with , and worse: many a time it just comes down to inside wiring SU. It does help to check on that. Additionally, slow browse is often an issue of the kind of protection ware installed on the OS ...just thought I`d share...
