About every 2 months, it slows. Nothing new. In all this time, its never been the confuser, always something on their end. Usually the tower.
Upload speed is a little bit faster this morning, about dial up speed now. They are still trouble shooting it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23442406 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:59:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23440023 Jack_in_VA : Remember your upload is entirely dependent on your modem being able to transmit the data to the tower. Your download looks normal so I would not think it's a Sprint tower problem. That's why I used the pigtail on mine to make sure I had the correct power to the modem.

Right now I have someone on with me. They must be streaming video 16 hr/day. My max down with just me is 1.2 so this has been going on for 4 days now. My up however is fine.

My upload speeds are so slow I cannot complete most speed test. Use to be 10 times faster. I would of quite a long time ago but could not find service that would allow a router to connect. Now I think others have found a way to do so. I am going to check into US Cellular, best cell phone service I ever had. Hope their new broadband is as good.

There obviously was a multi-T1 tower nearby because I was getting downloads in the vicinity of 2Mbps, but uploads were creeping at around .14 Mbps, like that shown by Zeek15. Here at home, my downloads drop to around 700-900kbps due to just a single T1 tower, but uploads can be up to 1Mbps! Go figure.

Uploaded data is nowhere near download levels.

Uploading issues can be caused by the amount of transmit power your modem is providing. When you're downloading you are receiving the signal the tower is providing. If you are not using a "Y" connector for your modem you should get one. That will provide your modem twice the available power if it needs it.

I'm on a single T-1 and here's my data.

I wouldn't expect upload to get too much higher than that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23207579 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:38:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23205871 Zeek15 :
It has been like this for awhile, it use to be 40Kb and now it's been 5-10KB for awhile now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23205871 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:40:48 EDT
