Re: [Connectivity] Horrible slowness at night -Somerville, MA
When you run your speed tests is there an anti-virus, malware, trojan, firewall, or any other such program running in the background? Do you have a wireless router as well? I ask this because using these on my home PC has taxed my down load speeds anywhere from 2 to 10Mbps. They also have a smaller affect on my upload speeds as well. Taking my Dlink DIR-655 off line has also raised my download speeds. Which is a new problem for me, which I am trying to solve in the Dlink forum. |

Hey, so stupid question when you ran your speed tests did you turn off whatever you have doing uploads? We've got your modem running a solid 2mbps upstream almost all last week and only stopping in the wee hours of the morning.
In 7 days you uploaded alot of data So I just want to make sure when you are doing your tests that you have whatever not running. When I quickly matched up time-stamps it looked like they overlapped atleast your tests to RCN's speedtest system. Likewise if you don't have anything running perhaps now would be a good time to change your wireless key if you have one.
Now, so you don't think I'm putting everything on you;
While Somerville as a hole including your specific downstream is slated for upgrade. However, even then it's not nearly saturated enough to cause the results that you are reporting. Is there any chance I can get you to run tests against our servers at a few random intervals?
