Re: [Network] speed drop: 3mbps to 0.3mbps most evenings= most eThank you for your interest. No, speeds have not stabilized. I've gotten used to slow evening speeds. During day or early A.M. no problem. 7 PM to 11 PM or so... slows from 3Mbps to less than 1/5 or 0.6Mbps-- tonight is barely 1/10 or 0.3Mbps... it's too slow to capture via DSL global broadband test at speedtest.net presently at:

I have posted a response in the direct forum, also I have one of our network analysts monitoring your connection during peak hours. When/if we see a problem we will be able to form a plan of attack.

Aaron: Very kind of you to attend to this matter. I hope that i can remain a Windstream customer. Frankly, in my rural area there are no "economically reasonable" alternatives for broadband service. Though speeds have dropped since you "re-provisioned' (?right terminology?) my connection... it seems more stable, so far. regards, P. S. (Montgomery Co. Arkansas) current speeds (mid day, local time) (as good as it gets)

Keep an eye on it and let me know if anything changes. Currently your operational mode is set to interleaved which is more stable but it does sometimes impact the overall speeds or the ping times.

well, FYI... the current status is as follows: (in rural Arkansas- 30 miles west/southwest of Hot Springs )
the configuration at speedtest.net can't load (too slow?)
but DSL test at SPEAKEASY gives 0.07 mbps download; and 0.13 mbps upload ... |

Re: [Network] DSL drops 3mbps to 0.3mbps each PM-Montgomery CO,pabloAR- Just wanted to remind that you should see some technicians out in the area over the weekend and early next week working on the cables. Didn't want you to be surprised if you saw them poking around.

I will start digging back into it. I apologize I haven't seen your posts. The cables you saw being worked on were one of the main feeds for the equipment in your area. I will let you know what I find.

Apparently the technicians are in the process of conditioning all the lines while they are assigned to the area. They are doing this to avoid future problems. While they work on individual spans the traffic from the span they are working on is re-routed to another span causing utilization issues (slow speeds). This is not an over-subscription issue, it is a physical issue. I apologize that I was not aware of the amount of time/work it would take to get the trouble fixed. The technicians are still working on it and should have it resolved soon. I will give you a specific repair schedule as soon a I get one. I do not expect that it will take more than a week or two longer (worst case scenario). Again I apologize the work has been this in-depth and has taken so long to complete. Have posted account specific information for you on the » Windstream Direct forum. Aaron Specialist II |

This test result is approximately an hour later... 9:30PM CST... again, this is a 3mbps subscription "bundled" plan (can actually hit that 'speed' in the early morning hours...) regards, Pablo |

said by pabloAR:Someone suggested that I continue to post the condition of my DSL 3mbps subscription service with Windstream... at approximately 8:30PM on a Saturday night.
I was offered the consolation of a $10/month discount for the poor quality of my DSL 3mbps ($59/month "for life" bundled... that adds up to $83/month... go figure). this discount is only for 6 months... I'm not optimistic that any solution is forthcoming to improve the 3mbps subscription... sigh regards, Pablo You are getting the same bullshit lies that we were told for over a year. They told us it was not an over subscription issue for months. Now I am getting the same $10 a month discount they are offering you and they have no plans to fix it. Almost 500 days of speed like this. So do not get your hopes up on any fix. They are only upgrading areas where there is competition. My area was approved for a fiber upgrade, then it was changed to run the fiber out 270 West towards Mountain Harbor. Speeds right now.
