I know this is an "old" thread, relatively speaking, but even a month later my speeds are virtually the same as these above. Even on non-peak hours, it is absolute rubbish.
I spoke with a local CSR about a week ago who insisted it was my equipment. I said to her, "What if I told you it isn't my equipment, and had the data to back up my claim?" She then stated that I should set up an appointment for a technician to come test my setup.
I tried to explain to her that I am actually a newly certified network technician myself and could guarantee it's not my equipment, but since I didn't want one of their techs to check my stuff, the call was ended.
Honestly, if there were another alternative in Humboldt, I would switch in a hot second. |

| The technician is not going to assume it is your equipment, or shouldn't anyway. Their could be an issue at your house or on the feeder line. ( the line that feeds your house ). Could also be a node issue etc. But you need someone to come out there and start looking for it in order for it to get fixed. |

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but I'm in DC on vacation and on a family members' internet on Comcast. I'm getting 12up and at least 2 or 3 down - Yes, Megs. This makes me see how much our internet back in Humboldt blows. I think I want to stay here. I'm in love... |

| Well, according to the local help desk, new "equipment" was installed last week. Speeds are back to where they are supposed to be. Ping is still a minor issue, but whatcha gonna to do?
