Bodybagger posted : Really strange... but when copying a file over the network on a Sagem 1704 it totally cripples the DSL. I mean 1000ms ping while copying and as soon as the file copied to another PC on my network my DSL went back to perfect. Wtf? Is it just something with these 1704's that do that?

Doc I'll post it on there now. I've tried to get WIS and WLTX notified of this service back when it was totally unusable for ~3 years. Nothing ever became of it and never had any emails back from them. I hope you will have better luck!

Prodious posted : I have just noticed that my Attainable Rate Rate (Kbps): in the statistics of my modem has gone up so something was changed. Cant believe that yours is only 5488 down and 816 up. Going from the word i guess it is what is suppose to be available to get on the line, and a funny about that because i was told that when i upgraded from the lowest dsl speed, and i quote "you can upgrade from 1.5mbps to 12mbps for just $10 more with your plan." I was so excited that was available when i was getting it 2 years ago, but that was my first time talking to someone from wind stream on the phone. Now i know better.

Bodybagger posted : Prodious, send Windstream your info through a PM on here or through the Windstream Direct forum and see if they are working on anything on the other end of town. I thought they would be getting Cameron up and going before heading back towards Columbia but I may be wrong. I haven't been out your way in awhile so I'm not sure if they've been running any new equipment and/or fiber. I'm not familiar with how many units are in your area bro but maybe they can do some rerouting to get you back working. I know there are more people out towards you than there is at my house... maybe not everyone is feeding from one DSLAM.

Aaron, I hope Victor gets better soon! I told the wife to call me whenever the tech shows and I'll get some guidance to him if she isn't sure. But for our small house everything is pretty much straight forward.

Read the thread. Bagger has been in contact with plenty of WS folks.

Keep it up Bagger! And don't take this advice which only protects WS. Keep doing it your way. Had this been fixed a long time ago none of us would be responding here.

I live in northeast Ohio in Huntsburg. I have had Windstream out several times and they have checked outside and in, changed some wiring, gave me a new modem, etc. etc.
My speeds off peak are approx..1.50mbps but during the evening are .50 and below! Keep hearing that they "oversold" the hub out here and it might be fixed sometime this summer. We pay for 3.0mbps but our service is so slow we can't use our Netflix and Amazon streaming services.

Any ideas? Thanks

Bodybagger posted : So far things have been up and running. Over the weekend we were having a LAN party at my brother's house. I noticed that 90% of the time his SNR was 8 and lower. I'm not sure what that was all about other than poor quality lines feeding his home. I cannot check mine due to the modem being in bridge but we haven't noticed any issues here lately. Are they ever going to reroute the traffic to the closer, fiber-fed peds? I would assume after everything checks out that this remote is fully operational they would try to bump speeds up by rerouting more distant locations.

computerdoc posted : Guaranteeing an exact speed at all times is not to be expected. Receiving less than 5% of what you are being charged for is not. No ISP can do this. Yes, if it's related to your network or cabling, that's one thing. But that's what their techs are there for to diagnose and it's almost never the case. Time and time again we have all seen they tremendously oversell their DSLAM's causing high latency and issues for all.

A consistent connection and overall average speed is what anyone should come to expect and this is not asking too much. Outside of Windstream I have never seen such a huge variance from one minute or hour to the next. Cable broadband is much more susceptible to varying speeds yet most of their customers still receive tremendous download and upload speeds on top of extremely low latency.

Equally important is the fact that the reason for the tremendous loss of performance is due to oversold bandwidth on the providers part. It's a nice loophole that Windstream has typed up in the contract but at what point does common sense come into play and force the company to FIX THEIR ISSUES. Worst yet, they have been given stimulus funds for just this reason...to upgrade dated equipment in rural areas. I saw in the forum the other day where they are trying to ban ISP options for areas that they can't support or upgrade the equipment sufficiently. How disgusting and greedy is that?

At some point they will become liable for the long history of negligence and embarrassing support/performance record that they are without a doubt becoming known for.

malianx posted : Well, if you were to sign a contract stating the dealership can not be held accountable for oyur poor gas mileage despite what they advertised, they'd be just fine. And you did just that for your internet:

• Internet/Broadband. Speeds are distance-sensitive and availability by address varies. We strive to provision the line up to the maximum speed required to support the qualified and subscribed Service but actual speed will vary based on factors such as the condition of wiring inside a specific location; computer configuration; network or Internet congestion; and the server speed of the websites accessed. We cannot guarantee speeds or uninterrupted, error-free service.

Re: I'm about to lose it

Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:47:13 EDT

computerdoc posted : Just when one of us gets a fix...this happens. At what point are they legally bound to fix and/or upgrade the equipment so their customers are actually getting "close" to the advertised speeds they are paying for?

Imagine someone buying a car for the MPG's advertised and only 60% of what the dealer promotes is achieved. Then to add insult to injury, they only get 10-15% of what is advertised and they're constantly told to wait a few more months for a fix, maybe next year it will be resolved...or the inevitable "We are sorry but we don't have an ETR at this time."

Any other business would surely tank due to lawsuits and the repercussions for such disrespect to their customer base. How is Windstream able to find a legal loop hole here and remain afloat?

I told him it was in bridge mode and I'm not going through that BS when that's not it. He asked "What is bridged mode?" Back on hold and he finally comes back and says that the t2 tech says I have to bypass the router and take the modem out of bridge so they can troubleshoot the problem further. He then went on to say that our distance was 14k feet and just on the verge of not being able to get 3Mb service and that is probably why our service has never been fixed. WTF?! When it works it's perfect.. so how the hell can it be distance related now all of sudden? And to top that off, I was told last year that the distance was even further than that. So how can our distance magically change? I need some liquor... hardcore.

Copied from Windstream Direct:

The DLC that Austin and Aaron pulls out of is currently on Copper T-1's and the Dslam is also copper fed with 8 T-1's. The 2 customers are around 3.5 miles and have 3mg service . They are at the end of the line. We have ran test on the cable they work out of and it test clean. We are in the middle a Stimulus project to install Fiber to this DLC and add a new DLC close to them that will be fiber fed as well. We expect this to be completed around October.

That's what is being done to permanently resolve you and your brothers issue.

Guess what he said the equipment was too small i presume for the number of people they were gong to put on it and the amount of new services they were going to try and sell so the upgrade needs to be upgraded before its ever turned on
During numerous repairs of noise on line and dsl being down the techs have got me from .380Mbps to .6Mbps so they are trying but i think the engineers and managment are stuck on stupid The present dslam is about 3miles from the house while the new one with the fiber is 1 mile so if it ever works my speed should really pick up

I'm surprised to find another Sweeny, TX user on here. You mentioning line noise is kind of funny because they fixed an issue with a hum on our line about a month ago (we'd had it for quite awhile) and it has slowly returned lately.

I'm like you in that I either want to speak with the HD manager or a T2 tech/engineer at this point. They at least won't have me power cycling off my modem and router repeatedly and clearing browser cache and unplugging and plugging back in Ethernet and phone cables. I quickly establish from the beginning all these steps have been taken and it did not resolve the issue. I usually have to explain how things work to the tech support staff which should raise some serious flags. Aren't these calls monitored to improve their troubleshooting ability and efficiency?

Last I heard my ETR was for "by the end of February if not before." I am waiting to hear from Aaron how the progress is coming along. Both Aaron and his manager had to get involved to get answers from my local team and office. I just hope they are staying on them and in doing so will actually force positive results.

Piggie posted : Most of the techs I know worked there when it was Alltel. Alltel was a great company both landline and cell. Sadly neither exist anymore, at least in my area. I have had techs run me a home run, check pins for packet lose, change me to another pair to improve S/N or Attn.
Now? I can't even find any of the ones I know. Every single tech I knew on several forums is gone. I even had some of their emails, and no answers. Did they gag order them? There used to be a lot of Alltel/Windstream field guys in several forums I know, and all gone, and all about the same time, around or so Aug 2012.

Bodybagger posted : Surprisingly yesterday after my GF got off work the net went back to the "working" state as it was after Jan 15th. All packet loss was gone and no more high pingtimes. I really don't know wtf they are doing but it looks like we are getting toyed with again. Frustration isn't even the right word for it! I guess they finally figured out how to "get in" to the new system. It is really sad that these local techs have their hands tied in the situation. Most of them really want to provide the best service they can but are not allowed to do the things they need to do in order to achieve it. Back when it was Alltel and DSL wasn't even around the techs would bust their asses to have people running on 56k without drops, line noise, packet loss, etc. Now... all they can do is tell you it is F****D and they cannot touch it. *Words from the tech*

I'll keep you guys updated on the situation.

So before 2014 they will have to wastefully spend all this money (which they do well) and then go crying to the feds for more money. Hell they are already demanding more money from them. If the techs in the field are saying that this is a 2-bit company, then what does this tell you? To this point, techs are the only honest people in this company. Its the same story in other states. No one in this company has a clue on what to do to fix this mess.
