Hey, everybody.
This is my first post and I apologize if I sound a bit ticked, but this problem has really gotten to the point of ridiculousness now and I'm quite sick of it.
I live in Aiken, South Carolina and I have Atlantic Broadband's Megamax (15mbps) service. Around the hours of the late afternoon and evening, my speed decreases EXPONENTIALLY. I'm really good with computers, so I figured my router may have been going bad, and I replaced it with a Linksys WRT54GL running a fork of the Tomato firmware. That didn't solve my issue at all. So, I did some Google-Fu and found some posts from people (different ISP's) about "node saturation" and their issues are exact matches of mine.
I'd like this to be fixed but don't know the avenues to go about
getting it fixed. I've tried to call ABB about this problem for what has to be close to a year now, but they
insist there's no problem. Also, it seems to be that they can only send a tech out in the middle of the day or early in the morning, not when the problem occurs, so naturally, the techs don't see the problem and think I'm just wasting their time. I've attached some pictures of the speeds I'm currently getting at 9:17 PM on May 16, 2011 and I think you'll all agree that I'm definitely
not getting anywhere remotely near the speeds I pay for.
