Does WOW throttle speeds? in W.O.W. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22620525 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:45:24 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:45:24 EDT Re: Does WOW throttle speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644280 Goober : Interesting service. It truly is a backup only application. After 30 days, it will delete the files that are no longer on your machine. It synchronizes. So, you can't use it as additional online storage.

I've decided to go with Elephant drive.

They seem to throttle. I signed up for 8M/1M which I seemed to get the first two days of service. Since then I've been getting about 3.2M/250K or worse... as low as 2M/230K. Awful.

Tech support had no idea what Linux is and told me, "I'm sorry, but we don't support links [sic]." When I told her that the O/S does not matter it's the connection that matters she repeated the above statement. I told her I would fire up a Windows box just so she could do her test, she said okay. In actuality all she wanted was for me to ping a couple of IPs then to go to a speed test website, all things I could have done on my Linux boxes.

If you're going to hire tech support, you should hire techs not script readers.
Speed test website? That in no way gauges you're actual speed since it deals with such small files. And yeah, I think I may have tripped some sort of auto-throttle. I haven't been keeping track of how much I've downloaded recently but I think it's easily over 200GB in the last month.

And my speed has gone down further. Now it's at around 500-600 KB/s. Haven't had time call them though. If I am being throttled, so be it; I'd just like to know for certain.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22631625 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:09:18 EDT Re: Does WOW throttle speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22630893 anon : They seem to throttle.

I have the 8 Mbps connection and usually when I max out my connection I average around 1,000-1020 KB/sec. The past few days it has been averaging around 800 KB/sec. Was I just getting lucky with the higher speeds or is it worth a call?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22620525 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 13:23:20 EDT
