I have been having trouble since Sunday (I wasn't home Saturday all day) and I am in the Bronx area. The service is still on and off. Works for few hours then it becomes so slow even google take few mins. load. I guess, the issue is to only specific areas? I am an OOL ultra customer.

»[OOL] Upload/Upstream Issues today?

Yesterday I had different websites stalling on me to load, I have 3 different DNS servers setup and tried on 3 different PCs and still getting weird things. When connected via the 3G hotspot on my phone though everything is fine.

At work now (also OOL) and all seems fine, no issues really and it's only like 1 mile away. Didn't check at home this morning to know if it's all fine again

I am having similar completely inconsistent speed ratings in the Bronx (NY). Started having some connection issues over the weekend, but the sites started stalling yesterday. Storm related?

It's doing it again. This seems to have started after that equipment failure last month.

i've had consistently slow speeds during the peak hours in Norwalk, CT. getting .5-1.5 mbps down right now across a few servers on speedtest.net.

I have boost, and I my spike on speed test just went from 33mb to 3.39 in mere seconds on my download. I just noticed it a few mins ago. Im tired of this. I dont pay 171 for this a month.

Weird, having some "slow" issues in Fairfield, CT now too.

Clicked a few sites and they are taking long time to load. Trying speedtests and it's taking forever to even start the test, just says "connecting" -

Still... after 30 seconds hasn't started yet. ..... now 60 seconds.... never connected.

Went to MSNBC.com (redirects to NBCNews.com) and that took about 20 seconds to load.

Speedtest.net still hasn't connected yet, more than 5 mins now.

Did a tracert to google.com and notice we are now using Lightpath.net instead of the whiteplains, NY link we had before.

I did a trace route to dslreports.com and several of the hops keep changing routes, like it is having trouble load balancing the route. It could be that the White Planes, NY hop is down for maintenance and we are being temporally routed on a backup link.

I'm seeing some strange routing on my Lightpath circuit. Some traffic is traversing through New Canaan, CT...where most of the time it would go through White Plains or sometimes Stamford.

Might be anecdotal, might be the same hardware but they just did not rename the IP addresses, or as you stated...some other problem.

I'm in Rocky Point, east of Port Jefferson LI. There are two residences in my building and the other tenant had Optimum out here last week because here speeds were slower than normal. She has "regular" optimum. I have Boost Plus (50/8) and mine were always great, until yesterday. I just did a speed test and this is what I got:




I restarted the modem first. then the computer. YT is always buffering/freezing. It's insane.

I just realized something--- do you think it has anything to do w/ the fact that I owe them a month's payment? I have been consistently one bill behind for about 3 months. :-/

I"ve never known them to throttle speeds when I'm behind with a bill, but with everyone trying to make a buck, it wouldn't surprise me.

I am 99.999999998% sure it is NOT due to overdue bills

Rocky Point is not Stamford, CT. Stop hijacking the thread.

Re: Anyone having problems in Stamford, CT've had

My optimum online service in north stamford has also been intermittent lately. I thought it had something to do with my wireless router not working correctly. If in fact CSC is upgrading the network, I'll be glad when it's complete. DSL isn't the solution, and of all the ISPs ( 6) have had over the years, I have to say Optimum is about the best - wrinkles and all.

There is a known issue based out of the Milford Hub that is being investigated. No ETR yet.

Should be all set at this point.
