I'm at St.Laurent Ottawa area and my ping right now is 203ms. When I tried to use the speedtest.net always came back with ping failed. Currently, I can't even go to youtube at all. For normal browsing is really slow too.
Oh man, I'm expecting some troubles with TSI but not to this extend and also this is my second month with them. So frustrating and also major disappointing. If this kind of troubles are keep repeating I have to find other ISP for sure. |

So these upgrades are to the core TSI network which will impact both DSL and Cable? |

said by TSI Marc:Guys, I had a look at the network yesterday and one backhaul link in actually pretty congested. It swings back and forth between various backhaul links due to the POI links being spread out across multiple backhaul links.. I.e. some days one back haul link is perfectly fine and other days its not. But never more than one at a time but sometimes it's extra bad... Like last night. So that means that any POIs that have one or more links on that particular backhaul link on that night will have issues. I also believe that this may be part of what's going on with the YouTube situation since so,e packets are arriving out of sequence and stuff like that as they get spread across multiple links. We have an upgrade due next week that I believe should help and we also have another 10gig link due next week or the week after. With that we will be able to sort this out. Really sorry about this folks.
Thanks for the update Marc, it's much appreciated. |

I can confirm a peak time increase in latency and reduction in throughput in Richmond Hill. This is limited to my Teksavvy circuit as there are no noticeable issues on the Rogers circuit.
Things got so bad tonight I had to failover all my VoIP and office VPN to the Rogers side.
I really dread calling support - there's no if loop in the script for tech savvy customers - step one is almost always in the lines of 'is your modem plugged in'?! |

I guess this is related? I have been getting bad latency in online games. e.g.

normally it would (or should) be like 30-60ms to most servers on the east coast |

DSL in our area was absolutely horrible during peak hours, much worse than anything experienced on cable since then.

Hence why I will never use cable for internet (bad memories of both Rodgers and Cogeco here).
I'd rather have an overall smaller *stable* bandwidth on DSL than be at the mercy of the neighbourhood evening rubber band effect.

said by TwiztedZero: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.
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).
