Re: [Niagara] Welland very very slow speeds
ok i just got cogeco on march 27 and its been slow since i got it mostly during the day at night after like 12:00 1:00AM its gets faster, they came and ran a new line out to the pole.
then i called again when it was slow they said it was an area issue and it should be better in a few hours that was last week.
i have digital cable and phone.
i tried 6 different PC's directly connected to the modem with firewall off and they where all the same , i did a hard reset on the modem still no go.
have windows xp pro and vista machines on a gigabit network
all machines can transfer back and forth at 900+ Mbps all computers have been scanned with multiple virus scanners and spyware scanners.
i dont run any P2P stuff so the connection is not used by anything other then a web browser and MSN Messenger.
at the time of this post my connection is fine 8+ Mbps
but during the day it slows way down to dialup like speed on every site i visit.
Test below was taken at 12:44 AM connection is fine at night

| I checked your MAC, you received correct information in that there is an area issue that is being worked on.
This will not be an over-night fix, however. Sorry I can't you give better news  |
