Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2
said by jfiveNYC  :UPDATE: \He confirmed that there is an overloaded node in the Flushing/NE Queens vicinity. Funny thing is, customers and patrons to this forum have known about TWC's overloaded nodes for a long time. At least one engineer is honest to this fact.
Sadly, this has been going on for a couple of years. |

Yea, I've already spoken with the internal techs. I have to call them again tomorrow (they said it could take up to one week). I only got to here after yelling at the regular techs who say I use a different server when using a wireless router. So far I have not noticed any difference in speeds. Took about 3 hours to download a 461mb file. |

Maaannnnnn screw you dude. j/k
Just got off the tele with TWC. The opening message says: customers in Astoria, LIC, and Flushing may experience brief disruptions in cable, internet, and phone service.
I didn't even bother speaking to a rep because I am assuming that this message means they will be replacing/fixing this f#$%ing error in nodes.
Keep your fingers crossed people!!!

Still no change in my area. TW claims there is not enough users on my node to warrant any changes. I've had to stop using my internet after 9pm because it's so damn slow. HURRY UP VERIZON!!!! |

Yea man, FiOS can't get here fast enough. The moment it does, and I mean the same day, I will cancel everything from TWC.
They must have done something overnight because I have never gotten speeds this fast:
Now if they could just breach the 8.5Mb threshold, I will be happy. |

Flushing, NY | What time was this test performed? I check everyday after 5pm and my speeds NEVER break 2000kbps. Browsing more then 2 websites at a time render my internet useless. |

The time/date stamp is in the upper right hand corner of the box.
I knew my previous speeds wouldn't last. Damnit!

New node placed on - these speeds are constant, until more users come on doing P2P 24x7. Also alot of you having these slow speeds, do you have any sort of P2P - BitTorrent going on? Sometimes when you close the program, it doesn't really close, it just stays on in the systemtray.

According to the network site, Elmhurst is supposed to be getting work at the end of the month while Maspeth is getting the morning 2:00am work.
I hope my speed issues are finally resolved by the end of the month. |

I've even reformatted my computer in case there was any spyware/adware on my computer. |

Pardon my ignorance but is sub 500kb/s a normal upload rate? I've consistently had this speed for some time, and can't imagine that it's really capped off so low?? |
