Alright, so for the past few weeks (maybe even over a month now) my download speeds for youtube videos(and videos sites of that kind) and pictures have been snail slow. They used to load in a seconds, pictures wouldn't even seem to load, would just display. I can't watch youtube videos without it buffering several times. I have to pause the video and wait for it to load (sometimes up to 10-15 minutes depending on length of video). And websites sometimes take a few tries to even load, other times it sits with "waiting for *site*" for a few seconds before even actually loading.
My pings are fine to sites, downloading via bit torrent maxes out my connection like normal. Standard HTTP downloads seem to be slow too now. Big sites like download.com I get crappy speeds from when I used to get 75%+ of my bandwidth. I used to get a constant 7-8mbps from OVH servers (in France) but now only get 50kb/s (sometimes more during non-peak hours). I figured the OVH might of been a routing issue, but I doubt it now since youtube videos take forever to buffer.
I've tried talking to TWC, but they can't do jack about it because their speed test(Using their speed test sites of course which work fine unlike any others) and ping tests all come out "Normal" and since they follow retard scripts, there is no reason to look into it.
Ive tried changing my DNS Servers (Verizon and Google) but doesn't help. Reset my modem/router several times. Connected directly to my modem. Nothing has helped. Tried different browsers (Opera, Chrome, Firefox).
Has anyone else been experiencing this or is it just me?
Edit: I just checked the network status page of Rochester and pretty much every area has planned maintenance Macedon, Brockport, Walworth, Perinton, Brighton, and Rochester all ranging from the 15th to the 27th.
And two places have "Unplanned event/outage" - Brockport and Greece (I'm from greece). Which are listed the 12th and the 14th. But this issue has been longer than that.
Hopefully these maintenance's are going to fix the issue, they are taking their sweet ass time but whats new.
Edit2: Just saw this thread - »
[TWC] Stuff stops loading Apparently there were issues over in Ohio that were fixed, hopefully these will be fixed too.
Edit3: Wee edits. I just tried to do a speed test with speakeasy, and im getting an extremely unstable connection from 1-3mbps, usually around 1.5mbps and bounces up to 3mbps then immediately back down. Oh Joy, problems seem to be getting worse now. Used to get 3-4mbps before.
