Re: What the heck is going on in SoCal? - Part 2 There's no signs of packet loss other than the normal case of routers just dropping ping packets over other priorities. If you show us the fast ping graphs, that would do much better.

said by WyckedKnight:this is the problem, try doing some online gaming while this is goign on. Cause you can't unless you like to warp. this all on a server on the west coast. On top of the packet loss show not being a real problem the latency times are suspect, especially the "worst" column. Best and average seem ok, but worst shows some high spikes BEFORE it even gets to RRs network. So you don't know if those highs further down are actual problems or just a side effect of whatever was causing the spikes earlier.
Can you show us a trace from your computer to the server you're having warping issues with? |

I still have issues in games where my connect drops out for a few seconds. Its very annoying. I want to sign up for Verizon's FIOS when the opportunity presents itself.
I believe powerboost is skewing my speedtest.net results  |

1 edit | If PowerBoost is skewing your results, find something big to download before you start your test. As soon as you kill PowerBoost, fire up a test and see how things turn out  . I also believe that the Java speed test on this site should be able to run a test long enough to kill it off as well, as well as with testmy.net's large speed tests.

| About half the speed. I should have the normal 6mbit/512kbit tier though.

Does anyone know the specific details about how and when Powerboost works? I'm trying to figure out how to configure my traffic shaper in PFsense to take advantage of Powerboost for web transfers, but I don't know if Powerboost is only activated when you have no concurrent activity on the line, or if it activates for all new connections on top of your existing ones. |

I'm in Atwater Village (L.A. 90039) and dslreports' and speakeasy's speed tests show me at 11-12mb download speeds. Did the "standard" package go from 6kbps to 11-12 for a reason? Not complaining. Just saying. |

said by Cable Guy5:As a Time Warner Cable employee of almost 10 years, I have to report these claims are true. I have watched, (Not Silently) while the quality of our service has gone downhill. It has gotten to the point where I can't mention at public functions where I work, for fear of being surrounded by people with complaints of how bad their service is. Now the issue of the caps keeps coming up, as well as the TV service constantly dropping off. We are hiring unqualified Techs, who cant fix the problems and are told to blame customer Routers or computers, when in fact, our service is down. Emails are sent out, telling us to be quiet about all the problems. Our Management ONLY cares about making Their "Numbers", at all costs. We have even been told in meetings, "Who cares what the dumbshit's think or want, just make the numbers!" It makes me sick and ashamed to work for this company, and I Personally apologize to all the customers that Time Warner has Wronged. I also have stopped being a customer, as it was unusable, and as an employee, I got the service for free. I gladly Pay for Direct TV and DSL, as they work. Again, I am so sorry for how wrong this company has gone... 1: Our Management ONLY cares about making Their "Numbers", at all costs. We have even been told in meetings, "Who cares what the dumbshit's think or want, just make the numbers!" Just what the hell are you talking about?
2: Emails are sent out, telling us to be quiet about all the problems. This is just a flat out lie, not only can you inform a customer about an outtage you can give them the ticket number.
3: We are hiring unqualified Techs, who cant fix the problems and are told to blame customer Routers or computers, when in fact, our service is down. Again another flat out lie, no one has ever been told to blame customer equipment.
You sound like someone who's QA's and CSAT's are in the toilet and cannot do your job because you don't know how to. |

god..i remember back in the day when broadband was just coming out there. were 20 choice for broadband. now they've all been put under or gobbled up! and im left to have to deal with this crap!
for weeks now its been like this..with only momentary bursts of speed around 8mbps |

| reply to qtime
My internet dropped out a few times for a few minutes early last week (maybe between Monday & Wednesday), but my speeds have noticeably improved the past few days...basically since I had the drops.
I didn't even bother to do a speed test, but just did one and am noticigin a def bump, at least when the Speed Boost or whatever comes into play.......but I have done a couple downloads at 1.8MB-2MB/sec (14mbps-16mbps) (STABLE, which makes me wonder if they are working on uprading our area to DOCSIS 3.0 right now....know Comcast is doublnig the minimum speed of their users as they are upgrading their systems, but not sure if Road Runner is as bumping up the speed for us as well.
My zipcode is 90034.
