[Internet] Brighthouse Turbo Slower then my old DSL in Novi, MI

I am located in Novi, MI. I just switched out to brighthouse and my download speeds are terrible. I have a 20Meg circuit and only get about 500K download. I had DSL Elite service from AT&T and always got 600K. When I run the brighthouse speed internal test that is shows 20Meg.

If I can't fix this I'm going to cancel the service. Also there was an outage on my Node yesterday and I have to fight with someone to get that fixed last night. Not happy at all...

Re: [Internet] Brighthouse Turbo Slower then my old DSL in Novi,

If your on-net tests show 20mbps then what are you using to measure your speeds? Be specific and also point me to the site so I can do some checking of my own. Post screenshots of your BHN test results and lastly PM me your modem MAC and IP please.

I measure by downloads of known sites. For example downloads from Cisco, Ubuntu updates, etc. I have a AT&T DS3 I'm testing the downloads vs. testing on the Brighthouse connection. Wonder if you guys are running a QoS policy on the downloads or something... I never had these issues with my AT&T DSL...

Neither of which would be valid because you have no way of knowing the capacity or utilization of these servers or their connected pipes.

Right but keep in mind I'm testing with a DS3 and getting much faster speeds. Since I have another circuit to test with is validates the other servers speed. I notice on the Brighthouse USC connection just now it will peak at two megs a sec then slow down to 100k then peak up. The cisco once is a constant 800k. When I do ubuntu downloads from the mirrors those are around 500k. Keep in mind. When on the DSL is was always 600k.

No it doesn't as they will traverse different paths inbound and outbound AND while you may link to specific server doesn't mean you are actually connecting to that server.

I sent you a PM relating to your tech visit as well...

Rocketr with all due respect I have responded and responded and responded. Days later I get a response from you which is too late. At this point open a direct forums post with your issue include all the requested information and a reasonable time when we can send someone out there that isn't 4 hours from now. I want to help you but your responses need to be timely and also complete. Thank you...

I think I should just disconnect service to get something reliable. I can't keep a steady data stream due to my signal issue. I stated a tech can come today or Monday. that's not four hours from now.

And I replied back to you but never received a reply and still haven't received a reply from you other than your posting here.

I'm going back to the DSL as soon as I can. My real world download tests are for sure throttled on Brighthouse.
