[Windsor] Speed Limiting?Is Cogeco now in the practice of speed limiting or some other retardation? Currently hitting about 450KB/s DL on NNTP where its usually 1.7MB/s.. Normally I am not one to post because I never have an issue, however this seems rather odd. |

I can't speak to Windsor, but I'm seeing 1.98MB/s at the moment (queued something just to check). I was seeing 800-900 KB/s earlier today but I just wrote that off to network congestion. |

Weird. I can't get more than 500KB/s from speedtests.. Never had this issue. |

Not to rub it in, but this is actually faster than I usually get. |

Was getting 1.7 MB/s ~ 1.8 MB/s earlier. I'm on business so I can't comment on any practices, but it's almost top speed here. |

Ultimate 30, but from an 802.11g only netbook. Have you called it in? |

I'm pulling 1.7MB/s over NNTP at this very moment on Standard.
Did you change ports? I noticed a while back that I couldn't get more than 500-600KB/s when I pulled NNTP using port 1720, but that was a few years ago and since then I've only used standard ports. |

Interesting. Still at 450-500KB. Rebooted computer, modem, and router. |

Hmmm... I'm actually faster than I was last night (faster than I think I've ever seen). Of course I know my neighbours (I think) and the only guy who might be using high bandwith is an ex-Bell employee so he's not on my line. |

Maxxed out at 510KB/s tonight... Any Cogeco employees want a crack at this? |

Just to be sure, you've hooked up directly to the modem, right? I know it's common sense for you, but there's been times I've been so confident and arrogant in my hardware that I skipped the necessary steps. |

No changes should have been made over the holidays and the week leading up to it. Most people are on vacation i think for the holidays so you might not get anything until next week. Feel free to PM me your info and ill look when i get back. |

Still at about 500KB/s.. Anyone want to take a shot at this? Send me a PM if you are around to help out.. I'll be around the computer most of the night. |

I'm experiencing a similar problem here in Petawawa, ON. I noticed it after I got back from Holidays (was gone from Dec 20th to Jan 1st).
Usually pingtest.net gives me A but I'm now getting B's and C's. Furthermore, I'm getting 5-8mb/s when usually I get 12-14mb/s. Downloading from a mirror in Kingston I usually get 16-18mb/s but now I can't seem to get more than 5mb/s.
I'm also seeing a small amount of packet loss.
I called in and they are sending out a technician later this evening.
Sorry for the vague details. Will hopefully be able to share more later. |

My issue was that my NIC was set to 10mbps halfduplex.. Duh. |

My issue is unfortunately network saturation. I'm told Cogeco will split the node shortly to resolve the issue. |

I usually don't have much of an issue with speed. Around the Christmas/New Year period, it dropped off for a while. Tonight, it's really bad (on downstream), so I thought I'd ask if anything is being worked on in the area of Partington & Tecumseh. My current speed: |
