[IA] 2mbps in Ames? in Mediacom http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21221175 en Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:42:00 EDT Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:42:00 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21284335 rick89 : Your def need to get your card split if your having speed problems all the time...and sounds like MC has something failing if your signal bounces that much... as for your speeds i would have them check the cards downstream utilization. One card is capable of only 38mbps down]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21284335 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:48:15 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238963 wth :

No problem with those signal levels. Run this little program »www.pingplotter.com/freeware.html when your connection is slow and post the results here. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238963 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:11:36 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238731 djbrettb : I appreciate the reply, but of course I've checked all of that :) Guess I'll be calling to get a tech out here, unfortunately. I just don't understand why this would be happening. Doesn't make any logical sense.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238731 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:54:37 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238728 daveinpoway : Before calling for a tech visit, it wouldn't hurt to check to make sure that all of the connectors are tight- a loose connector could cause intermittent problems.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21238728 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:51:47 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236516 Anonymous : I think you need to get a tech out. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236516 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:37:24 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236053 djbrettb : Also, I'm not sure if this is significant information or not, but I've had no issues with my TV signal at all. Both SD and HD channels are working just fine (digital). Haven't actually tested analog; should I?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236053 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:06:56 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236038 djbrettb : It's happening again. My connection actually completely stopped for about 10 minutes, modem would not sync. Now, it is working again, but only around 1.5mbps. My levels are also suddenly all weird.

Forward Path:
SNR = 26.5 dB
Received Signal Strength = -16.2 dBmV
Bit Error Rate = 1.552 %

Return Path:
Power Level = 53.0 dBmV

How can the levels be changed that much over just a couple of days, when I've changed absolutely nothing about my wiring? My apartment building is very new (built in 2004 I think) and all wires are good quality RG6. Is someone stealing my cable or something?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21236038 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:03:54 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224226 djbrettb : Interesting.. I guess I can't argue with that, just seems weird because I've NEVER had issues during "peak hours" until last night.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21224226 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:17:54 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223335 jbond026 : Im here in Ames with the MAX service and I see a huge download slowdown from about 9pm-1am and my upload is always fine. It must just be because of the peak hours. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223335 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:45:23 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223257 Anonymous : Probably peak usage...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21223257 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:30:31 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21221461 djbrettb : Things seem to be back to normal around 1:45 AM.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21221461 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:49:04 EDT Re: [IA] 2mbps in Ames? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21221205 djbrettb : Also, since I know someone will ask, here are my levels:

I'm on the West side of town, have had MCHSI at this apartment since June and have always had my full 8mbps. Suddenly tonight I'm down to about 2.2mbps. Upload is fine. Anyone else experiencing issues?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21221175 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:29:04 EDT
