Re: Atlantic Broadband Support Options

robry,

Was this done with or without a router? If you don't mind can you do about 4 speedtests and let me know once these are complete.

Thank you

With a router but all other traffic disabled. I'll connect my desktop system directly to the modem tomorrow morning and run 4 test spaced out during the day, 1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 around 5pm and 1 at 9-10pm.

Was downloading some windows updates for a PC I'm repairing and noticed it was going considering slower than 7~mbit.

immediately canceled windows updates and tested with speedcheck.

All other traffic on my local network is disabled from the Internet. For further proof, I'll plug my desktop in directly tomorrow morning and test all day.

I've always had slowness Sunday nights for some reason, not sure why. The speeds have improved, but to say its completely fixed would be a lie. I appreciate your guys help, I dunno why or what, but it appears the node I'm on is still pretty populated. Last thing I could think it could be is my modem. If that's a possibility, I'm going to go by a Motorola.

Here is my test done at 9:30PM tonight, with the modem connected directly to my PC. I'll do a few more before hook the router back up tonight.

I see your test from yesterday 7/8/2010 looks very good. If you don't mind can you do at least 3 more tests so I can update your ticket and verify your speed issues.

Tim,

I will speed test tomorrow a few times throughout the day and contact you and lisa via PM when I do. I just ran a test now, but I have my router connected, only saw mid 5mbit speeds. I did also switch the modem from a dlink to a motorola surfboard 6120. I'll be in touch tomorrow.
