Besides other wireless devices there are other things that commonly cause interference around the peak hours as well. Things like cordless phones, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. Bluetooth devices and wireless game controllers opperate in the same bands as well.

rotan join:2010-10-06	reply to hybrid_r I find it funny so many of us are having these issues yet nothing has been fixed. This is the reason why I'm moving to a new provider. If you go to the direct support forum you see many posts about this. This is not how service is provided, very disappointed. Tired of having to take down my network to directly connect my modem to see the same results over and over again with no resolve...

It could be an issue with Rogers or any other ISP that TekSavvy relies on. It could even be an issue with your network (which obviously isn't the case for you, but it could be for other people). I made the mistake of blaming TekSavvy too until I bought a new wireless router. -- Formerly known as section32

koreyb Replace the CRTC NOW join:2005-01-08 East York, ON Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable ·voip.ms	reply to hybrid_r This is at 2:15pm this after noon. Although higher than 18mb, it's for sure lower than normal. I will test during peek again. I'm on Yorkmills. It would almost seem we have a system wide issue with the amount of reports of problems on all different pois be it rogers or TSI's issue..

Anaron join:2005-01-28 North York, ON	I'm on the Cable 18 plan (18/0.5) and I just ran these tests with 3 other people using the Internet. 2 out of the 3 are in a Skype call which accounts for the slightly lower-than-normal upload speed. I almost always get 0.48-0.51 Mb/s. These speeds are slightly higher than what I'd normally get though (22-28 Mb/s). During peak hours, the lowest I've seen is 22 Mb/s which must be my actual speed (e.g. without speed boost). The highest sustained download speed I've seen is 2.8 MB/s which is 22.4 Mb/s. -- Formerly known as section32

TwiztedZero Nine Zero Burp Nine Six Premium join:2011-03-31 Toronto, ON kudos:3 Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable	reply to hybrid_r Considering network speed is on an "up to", quantifier. I personally consider it well within norms within 10Mbps minus or positive from the 28Mbps ideal, as "acceptable", since those numbers will continue to fluctuate through the day and night in the general sense. I'f I'm incorrect in this POV, please feel free to correct me. Now, given if you're truly in a congested state and receiving say 1Mbps to oh I don't know 5 or 6 Mbps ranges consistently at particularly during peak, then yes you might have a case for either POI or node congestion. I remember a time when my POI was actually congested, Dupont if you remember those threads from late 2011 September before the new links were rolled out, 1Mbps, 2Mbps were speeds I, and a great many others put up with patiently while awaiting POI Upgrades which eventually did get put in around March of 2012. What I see in the images above, look reasonable to me at this point in time. Just my two ~~cents~~ nickles. Though I sympathize, take heart eventually things will right themselves, and the Aggreated POI strategy hopefully will take things like this into account during that rollout. -- ----\|- From the mind located in the shadows of infinity -\|---- Nine.Zero.Burp.Nine.Six Twitter = Twizted Zero Chat = irc.teksavvy.ca

brad join:2007-09-06 Etobicoke, ON	said by TwiztedZero: Considering network speed is on an "up to", quantifier. That's a cover your ass statement from the ISP saying they cannot guarantee anything and nothing more. said by TwiztedZero: I personally consider it well within norms within 10Mbps minus or positive from the 28Mbps ideal, as "acceptable", since those numbers will continue to fluctuate through the day and night in the general sense. I'f I'm incorrect in this POV, please feel free to correct me. It is up to the customer as to what they're willing to consider acceptable. Personally if I was paying for a 28Mbps connection and was seeing 10Mbps most of the time I would question why I'm paying for a 28Mbps connection and lower it to the 18Mbps tier or consider moving to another ISP. Depends on the scenario. If I was consistently seeing even less than that then I would really have an issue with that. I know it isn't TSI's intention for customers to not receive close enough to the full throughput but the unfortunate reality is that there are customers that are not experiencing decent throughput even during non-peak hours for a few different reasons and I'm not necessarily talking about customers using DSL on really long loop lengths.

TwiztedZero Nine Zero Burp Nine Six Premium join:2011-03-31 Toronto, ON kudos:3 Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable	Let me clairfy a little. 28Mbps = Ideal +10Mbps positive -10Mbps minus Puts you between 18Mbps on the low end, and 38Mbps on the high end. Thats an acceptable range, to me. Anything that falls below those ranges might be cause for concern from one degree to another.

From the standpoint of a 28Mbps plan limited or not. 18 -- 28 -- 38 Yes, as I said it is up to the customer to decide what they consider acceptable. Anything less than 20Mbps on a 28Mbps connection on a fairly regular basis I would not consider acceptable. I'm a customer that values the higher caps or in my case unlimited as I transfer a lot so I'm a little more flexible in what I would find acceptable for peak speeds but there are customers that do not transfer a lot and they really want the peak speeds and not receiving said speed is not acceptable.

TwiztedZero Nine Zero Burp Nine Six Premium join:2011-03-31 Toronto, ON kudos:3 Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable	I can agree with you on that in some respects. Especially if the lower speeds are consistent on an ongoing basis and with the Direct Forum looking into it for you and you've exhausted all avenues of testing and trouble shooting and are left with less than optimal speed conditions consistently particularly off peak hours especially. Then maybe either see if you can have your billing adjusted to reflect that, or as you suggest, moving onto another provider with hope of some improvement. Bottom line yeah its up to the individual to decide what they consider acceptable and bearable for their usage and needs. -- ----\|- From the mind located in the shadows of infinity -\|---- Nine.Zero.Burp.Nine.Six Twitter = Twizted Zero Chat = irc.teksavvy.ca

Bottom line yeah its up to the individual to decide what they consider acceptable and bearable for their usage and needs. For the most part, I agree with you; however, the same idea doesn't (or shouldn't) apply to lower speeds (e.g. 18 Mb/s vs. 28 Mb/s). Using the +/- idea for my plan (18 Mb/s) would give me a low-end speed of 8 Mb/s and a high-end speed of 28 Mb/s. At the moment, I consistently get speeds exceeding 18 Mb/s (ranging from 22 Mb/s to 33 Mb/s). If I ever consistently had speeds as low as 8 Mb/s, I would make a thread about it in the TekSavvy Direct forum. But if I had speeds of 18 Mb/s on a 28 Mb/s plan, then I'd consider that tolerable but only to a certain extent (like during peak hours). -- Formerly known as section32
