| [OOL] Atrocious Speeds in 08901
Hey all,
Let's start from the top... We've been having this wonderful issue for about 2 weeks now. I thought it was going to be solved by the 4 hour down time earlier last week but no such luck.
We're paying for the Boost package (supposed to be 30meg down, 5 meg up if I recall properly) but these are the speeds I'm getting consistently:
Speed Test #63735610 by dslreports.com
Run: 2008-12-28 17:54:10 EST
Download: 10674 (Kbps)
Upload: 323 (Kbps)
In kilobytes per second: 1303 down 39.4 up
Tested by server: 56 java
User: 1043672 @ dslreports.com
User's DNS: optonline.net
Compared to the average of 271 tests from optonline.net:
* download is 5% better, upload is 86% worse
I try to access the modem information page (192.168.100.1) but every link appears to be disabled.
This is getting ridiculous, we can barely get to webpages and trying to remote connect to my home PC to grab documents and what not is all but impossible. This happens regardless of which router I plug into the modem ( i have a total of 3 old routers which i keep around for testing or working on other machines ).
Any ideas what I can do, or am I stuck calling cablevision daily until they get fed up and send someone out? Every time I call all they say to do is attach one PC direct to the modem and then for that brief period of time (5 minutes) my speeds are magically working again. I'll plug the modem back into a router and it'll work for a few minutes but then it'll return to horrible speeds. :\
Also, we appear to be having some horrible ping times (150+ to google, ebay, etc).
Anything anyone can suggest would be appreciated because I am really tired of waiting on the phone for CV.

1 edit | Then its probably your router what are the names of the router and is it updated with new firmware?.
And what type of modem you have?. |

I should first mention that while removing the router does make the speed better, it's not anywhere NEAR 30mb/5mb that we're paying for. We're talking about... 5mb/256kb at the best.
The three routers that I've tried are:
Linksys WRT54G v8 running DD-WRT v24 RC5
Belkin Wireless G (Model #F5D7230-4) running its latest firmware
NetGear Wireless G (Model #WGR614) running its latest firmware as well.
The modem is a Scientific Atlanta DPC2203C 2-Line modem (i think, I am not there at the moment - I'm at my folks house for the holidays). |

You can still see your signals if you use this docsdiag.
»homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.···iag/Just
download it and just type this in to the cmd prompt.
java -jar docsdiag.jar
or
jre -cp docsdiag.jar docsdiag |

I am in next town over(08902)and having the same issue. I posted similar thread today about Boost Package. OOL has nothing to tell me yet I know they are doing something to this Boost node. Right now my bandwidth is fine however it will fluctuate through the day. At some points I can't get more then 10Mbps down. |

Pittstown, NJ | That's what I'm noticing too. I just finished downloading the EVE-Online client.
It started out at 100kb/s but by the time it finished it was going at just shy of 1mb/s.
I guess they're overloading the nodes again. :\ |

They are having major problems upgrading Boost. See my previous posts. Removing Boost will solve the problem for now.

The problem with that though is that I remote connect to my machine from work all day long and the 'continuous upload' gets me capped by CV. With Boost they do not care and do not cap me. So getting rid of it really isn't an option. |

Call, have them take you off Boost, see if it works any better. |

Really? When did that happen?
Probably around the same time Boost went from 30/10 to 30/5? |

Regardless, the capping stopped on both service levels a couple years ago when they upgraded Boost and a little after they switched the normal service to 15/2. |

Pittstown, NJ | When I first got boost in 08901 the package was in fact 30/10. I had speedtests and everything to prove it. But that was almost 3 years ago. |

Nothing that we've tried has worked.... Called up Optimum yesterday and they said they're seeing upwards of 75% packet loss on our line but do not know why...
Mentioned the thing about Boost and they said they do not have any other reports of Boost users in our area having these problems...
We have a senior tech coming out on Monday, but in the mean time we can barely get to webpages, can't do anything at all really. I've tried hooking the modem up direct to first line that comes into the house (No splitters) and it's just as bad.
They replaced our modem when the tech came out on Wednesday, and even that didn't help.
We're really beginning to get frustrated here...

I should be more amazed that you have COMPLETELY IDENTICAL symptoms as me, but seeing the reports of this spewed everywhere over the last 3 weeks prevents me from any further amazement.
07836 here, the times the net 'dies' it cuts off literally all upload, websites refuse to load, even google. I can stay connected to AIM/MSN/etc just fine and chat to people, but horrendous speeds and rediculous packet loss prevent me from doing anything else (ex. online gaming) until it resolves itself usually 2 hours later. It's blazing away ZERO problems then INSTANTLY turns to shit. I don't understand it.
Tech is coming tomorrow, probably will replace the modem to no avail. The is the first and only serious problem I've ever had with Optimum. Worse yet, we have OV, so our phone cuts out too.
Problems started early December, for reference.
What it is:
What it should be:
As per online games: I can receive everyone just fine, can see everyone else moving around and talking, yet I am completely frozen in place as if nothing I am sending is ever reaching the server. After a minute of this I would then disconnect or re-sync with the server sporadically. |
