been slow again this past week. upload was good but download has been around 8100 but i'm paying for the 16/2 connection.
didn't care because it's still fast but last night it got even worse. now i'm getting between 187 & 1890. THIS SUCKS!!!
yes i cleared all cookies, deleted all histories, plugged PC directly into modem and disabled norton. i also ran the test on 2 different PCs & 1 playstation 3. all returned similar results. when i explained all this over the phone to WOW i was told that they needed to send a tech 2 my house because the firewalls were probably configured wrong on my PC.
what a bunch of idiots !!! i'm going to find a new ISP.
don't even care if it's a slower connection that cost more money. because of bundled pricing they well also lose a hd cable tv customer. |

what a bunch of jerks, thinking they can just give me more then i paid for. oh wait that's a good thing, never mind. |

It fools people like you and the speed tests all the time. Setup a real long download and watch the speeds halfway through the transfer. You won't be seeing 22Mbps then. You might see 15Mbps at best knowing them. |

on a good day i was only getting about half that with my old 16/2 WOW connection.
so, according to you the comcrap is still faster.
i'm not sure what's funnier, that you think my superior internet connection somehow makes me a ding dong or that you actually used the word ding dong.
PS don't be envious, you can order comcrap power burst to. |

WOW could do power boost if they wanted, they don't see the point as it isn't a real useful function. It doesn't make long downloads any faster, only small ones under 20MB in size. I'm happy with what I have with WOW. |
