Yes, so far so good. my QoS seems to have dropped a bit, but the bandwidth is right up there where is was before.

I have been having the same issue but it's been going on for 4 or 5 months now. Last week they also told me they had "Rebuilt the circuit" in my area. The day time speeds seam to be fine now, they were decent before and not the issue. But from ~7:30 to ~11:30 each night my Ping and speeds go to crap, ~600ms ping and ~0.8 down with ~0.4 up. I have there 3mb package.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-speedlatency-Fairpoint-DSL-slow-in-the-evening-23169907 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:14:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-speedlatency-Fairpoint-DSL-slow-in-the-evening-23142606
Just an update: I called Fairpoint Tech Support at Noon today (with no wait time) and suggested that the circuit may need some adjusting at the DSLAM since the speed were slow during high traffic times. The representative said she would escalate my ticket right as it went in - within 4 hours the issue had been resolved and a Fairpoint Technician had called to let me know he adjusted the circuit and to let them know if further adjustments were necessary. My connection speeds appear to be back up to where/if not better than they were before.

Thanks again for all your comments.

Try running this (Verizon) network test tool during periods of slow-down and see what results it reports: »70.20.31.250/ndt2/
Interesting test, I'll have to keep it in mind.

So far we have not experienced problems with slowdowns.

I just ran it, and it reported that "other network traffic is congesting the link". I'm off to try a few other tests ...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-speedlatency-Fairpoint-DSL-slow-in-the-evening-23109196 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:06:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-speedlatency-Fairpoint-DSL-slow-in-the-evening-23108802
I get kicked off altogether repeatedly between around 6:00 PM and 11:00 PM, and when I get reconnected, an error message tells me that my network configurations have changed. Annoying part of it is, all I am doing is reading (often an eBook), so there is nothing dynamic that should *cause* change....

Some poking around the neighborhood turned up a lot of frustrated folks in over a surprisingly large area on different fiber feeds.

I truly believe that the issues that a lot of folks are seeing are secondary to a failing company being unable to keep up their QoS, and wonder in the OP's issue may not be the same...

I connected directly to my modem with the laptop using PPPoE settings in Windows (modem is in bridged mode) and always reports speeds that are up at the correct level, even when tests elsewhere report otherwise.

Any ideas here? Since modem sync rate is not affected, slow speed is probably due to network saturation. Most likely backhaul from remote terminal.

I have 3Mbps Down/756Kbps Up DSL from Fairpoint. The service has been solid for nearly a year - Brand new copper from the Demarc to the modem. I also have an outdoor DSL POTS Splitter filtering the lines right at the demarc. The litespan is about 1300 feet from the house - I can almost see it. As of recent (last few weeks?) the connection is slow as mud inthe evening. Upload speeds are fairly steady - tests have always run about 700Kbps and continue to for the most part. Download speeds which have been steady at 2.8Mbps for the last year are now dropping down to 200Kbps.

I've tested remotely during the day and speed results are back up to where they should be. Tests later in the evening (after 11 PM) show speeds back up to normal ranges. I connected directly to my modem with the laptop using PPPoE settings in Windows (modem is in bridged mode) and always reports speeds that are up at the correct level, even when tests elsewhere report otherwise.

Any ideas here? I'm thinking that litespan is getting saturated - too many customers sharing the bandwidth they are pumping over it? ....though that doesn't explain my modem speed reports. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/speedlatency-Fairpoint-DSL-slow-in-the-evening-23106416 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:44:54 EDT
