Re: Massive Slowdowns? You should downgrade to 8mbit...if you aren't getting your advertised speed, there is no reason to pay them more money a month.

1 edit | I would but usually during non-peak hours when I really need my VPN connection I can get decent upload speeds which is why I keep it around. We did downgrade in Powell before we switched ISPs but upload wasn't too important for me back than. Since they added their additional bandwidth things have gone lower than the 'norm'. |

1 edit | Hm, network outage (fun). Guess I needed to go to bed anyways. Modem can sync the downstream channel but can't find the upstream channel to lock onto. Called and they said they have a network outage in the area (tethering from my phone to post this). |

This is the single most active thread on our little forum, lol. Over 600 replies and some 35 pages. I have not read this thread since it was first started. I wonder if Bresnan monitors this thread. Anyway I'm glad that we have some activity in our little forum, would be nice if Bresnan was a little more aggressive in upping speeds and reducing prices. But we all know that won't happen until there are big changes in the laws of this country. Anyhoo I just thought it was kind of interesting the number of replies in this thread.  |

This may come as no surprise...Speeds are back in the dump again. It has been nice the last week or two after they made their 'upgrade' but that seems to have been short lived.

Same here in Grand Junction, Colorado. I'm so feed up of them telling me it's my router I tossed it out. No more router/firewall! Nothing, I've unpluged everything for months and still don't get more than 2mb.

Everyone should go here and run the test. It would be nice to get Bresnan speeds on record with the government.

The state of Montana is also looking into what the state of broadband is for it's residents. Go here to submit a test result. »www.mtspeedtest.org/ There is a comment section at the end where you can explain in more detail your experiences with Bresnan. |

What region does Bresnan service again? I'm not surprised by this map at all.

you do have to remember that qwest also serves a majority of montana's and wyoming's population and you know their speeds, (1.5 or 3 meg). Im sure Bresnan's terrible service for any where besides billings has affected that map also. |

My Router and Switch |
..which is the reason I built ours (see above and below). It's been handling the massive torture I put it though daily. I download rather large files and updates, along with torrenting Linux/BSD discs. It takes it and wants more.
If people want a more reliable router, build your own. Intel Atom systems are getting cheaper (or find an old PC), and a pair of network cards and you're good to go for an excessively LONG time. Already have a wireless router? Disable DHCP on it, give it a static IP (x.x.x.2) and tie it into your switch (use the LAN port, not the WAN port).

Im sure Bresnan's terrible service for any where besides billings has affected that map also. Not True! Qwest does not offer 3mb service. If you take the time to check their website you will find that Qwest offers 1.5mb, 7mb, 12mb, and 20mb service. Bresnan, thankfully does not serve my area. When I lived in GF and had Bresnan cable internet, it took me six months worth of calling to get them to replace the line from the pole to the house. Service was better after that, durring the daytime. When the neighbors were home in the evenings it was worse than dialup, luckily DSL does not suffer from this type of slowdown.
