If you can't decipher that, here's the current Speedtest:



It's actually 'Good' right now. Good compared to what it was earlier.

I couldn't even do my homework on Webassign.net. The connection timed out as I was submitting all my problems, so I lost all my work. I called Metrocast very pissed off, and they said they were going to look at it.

This isn't the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time calling. I've actually lost count. It's probably at least the 40th time I've called. They always give me some reason why it's not working and promise a fix soon. I really can't wait to go back on campus to reliable internet. Metrocast is freaking ridiculous. I hate them.

And so it begins. I usually have good speed in SOMD compare to the rest of the guys.

This was right after a cable modem reset. I got pretty much the same speed before reset, but ping was over 100.

P.S. Is not speedtest. The only reason i found out, was from trying to download something and it prompted me to check because it was really slow.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23458875 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:53:59 EDT Re: Serious Speed test issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23455570 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23455570 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 09:47:10 EDT Re: Serious Speed test issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23453509

I can't comment specifically on other MetroCast systems outside of my own area but here in CT we are expecting to be switched to a super high capacity backbone uplink (10Gbit/sec) over the next few weeks. This will expand over the entire east coast and beyond. It's public knowledge so I think it's safe to talk about:

»investor.rcn.com/releasedetail.c···D=397902

My understanding is when this project is complete it will be a total of 20Gbit/sec uplink to the Internet.
I always have such awesome ideas.

Myself and many others in this area have no choice other than Metrocast. There is no other service. DSL is not available.

I pay for the gamers package but I only get the basic speeds for about half the day. Bottom line, I don't think that is fare and I don't get my moneys worth!

He said depending on how bad it is, it might take a couple of days to trace the issue. But he thinks a line somewhere has a leak. To give it a couple of days and see if it still having issues.

And yes, i also believe there's somewhat of a hand of issue. Since sometimes i get max speed to the metrocast servers, but when i download or try speedtest.net i get terrible connection. The weird part, is that i don't think they have been working on the system down here as far as i know. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23069035 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:37:02 EDT Re: Serious Speed test issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23068950
When you get the low speeds to speedtest.net post those along with a Metrocast speedtest. My guess would be that the speedtest.net tests will be much lower. That would show that the issue would lie on the handoff.

Here is the thread I was speaking about.

the problem is we/you share bandwidth with your neighbors... so most likely people are all surfing during these times...

IF you had DSL you have your own connection back to the central office and you dont see this delay at all

if they upgrade to docsis 3.0 you wont see as much bad speeds....
Sounds like they need to open the pipe up some more during the time people are home. I know they have fiber down here in SOMD but whatever. I wish i could get DSL. I would be happy with 3 megs. At least it would be consistent and not all over the place.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23068630 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:17:45 EDT Re: Serious Speed test issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Serious-Speed-test-issues-23068547
