said by maartena :said by antdude :Is RR throttling bandwidths now? I am in 91745. No they aren't. I would just get a tech to your house and have them measure up your signal strenght. If you are getting that bad of speeds during business hours, something is wrong. Could be just overloaded nodes, but if your house is receiving a lousy signal to begin with they should fix it. I doin't think it is my signal strength or my connection since I have had very little problems. It's probably overloaded nodes due to peak hours.
FYI on my cable modem statistics and logs that I saw a few minutes ago:

| reply to antdude antdude, your signal levels look good on that screen shot.
As far as whether TWC is traffic shaping, yes they do. People who say otherwise know nada. Maybe read this: »[TWC] TW Officially Announces Packet Shaping for All RR Users
In the end though, it does not matter if it is traffic shaping or just an overloaded node in the evenings or weekends. The results are reduced download. It sucks. RR SoCal network is a mismanaged mess.
Do not use speed tests results from speedtest.net using fastsoft.com LA server. It will nearly always show good download speeds even with a slow connection. Funny how fastsoft gets away with this deception. Use speakeasy or a different speed test site or a known fast ftp server to test when you think your connection is slow and want to test it. |
