It actually was pretty good for a chunk of the semester (Pretty good being 5Mbps down, 1/2 the speed advertised). The ping was pretty good as well, only going up to 250ms at night compared to the 1000+ we were experiencing Fall 2009.

I really thought they were going to it all fixed in March, but from March on, it got worse.

My girlfriend, who co-opped at Adtran, in Huntsville, said that Metrocast has been contacting them in order to upgrade more equipment soon.

I've been going off of hope for the past year. I'm glad I'm out of it, and I passed on my flickering torch to my good roommate, who can now pay that bill. He's not as smart as I am when it comes to networking, but I did leave him a list of how things should be, and told him everything that is currently wrong.

I know right now our modem is struggling to keep a connection. I took my router out, so now the modem is connected to our secondary router that's also connected to the Xbox in our living room. The modem was in my room, and I was able to get the USPL down to 46.5 or so. In the living room, it's hanging right at 58.7, which is, I believe, the highest our Motorola modem can output.

That's our fault, not Metrocast's, but still, it wasn't right even at 46.5.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Metrocast-of-Mississippi-24214587 Sat, 08 May 2010 20:33:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Metrocast-of-Mississippi-24210610 said by ryannazareti:

We can, but there's a catch... it's as expensive as Metrocast, but we only get 3Mbps...
Judging from your previous speedtests, that would actually be an improvement. The quality of the connection would probably be leaps and bounds better. Speed isn't everything. Chances are (per my own experience) that if you're getting less then the advertised download speed, there's packet loss involved. A stable 3MB connection can be light years ahead of a crappy 10MB one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Metrocast-of-Mississippi-24210610 Fri, 07 May 2010 18:58:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Metrocast-of-Mississippi-24208448

See, youtube videos take forever to load, no matter what speed we have. At school though, it's fast and I never have to wait. Metrocast has some weird stuff going on.
This is what I've been saying for a while now in gaming. Even with the proper "speed", the connection is crappy pretty much no matter what. No idea what causes that...horribly inefficiently routed backbone perhaps.

I have a friend in Oklahoma with a 1.5MB connection and he has a better ping to Atlanta than I do. Same with a friend in Minnesota.
