Re: Time for a stop sell on McNicoll POI?




something has to be done about this, this is getting ridiculous. I am paying for a 28/1 and this is what i am getting.

Your results do indicate a problem, in particular, after 9 p.m., which coincides with what I'm seeing as well (and I always test on multiple servers).

Wow sorry to see such crappy speeds. I lived in Toronto last year and was on the McNicoll POI as well. I'll need to perform some speedtests tonight to see if KW POI has similar issues or not.

Can someone from TSI respond because it certainly looks like speeds are not right.

I don't know why you guys are still complaining. NOTHING can be done about POI congestion until TSI switches everything to aggregated sometime late this year or early next.

Rogers is not offering any more link installs on the legacy POI system anymore AFAIK. Even if it was offered, it's a waste of money from TSI's standpoint since it'll all be switched over to aggregated within a year so either way, NO POIs will be upgraded until then.

The ONLY thing TSI can do to help is to put a stop sell, but it wouldn't help the congestion, only lock it in place. If you can't wait another year for upgrades, then switch to an aggregated ISP.

Those are the cold hard FACTS. Either live with it or switch.

TPIAs are still allowed to add capacity to dis-aggregated POIs but I do not know on which side of this TekSavvy lands. This ruling (Jan 31 2013) draws a line between those who have three year contracts with RCP and those who have a different contract:

99. In light of the above, the Commission concludes that there is substantial doubt as to the correctness of its decision in Telecom Regulatory Policy 2011-703 to impose a transition period of two years from the date of that decision for the migration of certain end-users from disaggregated to aggregated POIs. The Commission therefore approves in part CNOCs request and decides that, for those cases where an independent service provider has signed a three-year contract for transport facilities for a specific disaggregated POI before 15 November 2011, the independent service provider is allowed an additional six months to complete its migration from that disaggregated POI, that is, on or before 15 May 2014. For all other situations, the two-year transition period is maintained. Independent service providers currently interconnecting at an existing disaggregated POI will continue to be allowed to add end-users and POI capacity at that POI during the extended transition period.

Source: »www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archi ··· 3-73.htm

Now TSI Marc has made it clear as of yesterday that the push to APOI hasn't stopped and it is direction that TSI is taking for cable on Rogers. The details are still murky but in the case of the McNicoll POI is likely means that the situation won't improve by leaps and bounds. My suggestion would be to power cycle your modem by leaving it off for 10 minutes and then powering it back up.

Well, actually, Marc indicated in this thread that the switch to aggregated, if the problem is node congestion, will not somehow make the problem go away. Secondly, Marc claims McNicoll has plenty of capacity, and, if that's true the problem is not POI capacity related (and, in turn, everything you just wrote is pointless). Thirdly, Teksavvy needs to know that a problem exists--and where it exists. 24.156.149.133 does drop packets and appears to be owned by Rogers, for example. And, lastly, Teksavvy, to its credit, has contacted me asking for this (type of) information. As such, I'm updating the thread.

Regardless, people who are receiving poor service (poor throughput/transfer rates) and paying for it have every right to complain. Otherwise, the situation will certainly never improve.

We've already been through this earlier in this thread. Doing so, unfortunately, does not improve anything (related to congestion between 9:15 and 11 p.m). However, I thank you for the suggestion.

No problem. I only shared the thought because it has helped me in the past but this situation looks like it is well past a daily modem restart.

Just checking in to say that I seem to be experiencing this problem lately as well. Coupled with the streaming video/youtube problem, it's getting kind of frustrating.

I think a better question is: Is there anyone *not* experiencing congestion on McNicoll?. Because Marc says there is more than enough capacity, and if it's not everyone that is affected, then the likely culprit is local node congestion.

But then again, there are those whom have neighbors on Rogers that apparently get full speed.

This is completely unrelated to the congestion issue on McNicoll, but now I have no connectivity at all.

Rogers Scarborough service alert is gone, and I have connectivity back.

I doubt anything has improved with congestion on McNicoll between 9:30pm. and 11p.m. though.

This is with a DCM 476 which just got provisioned today. I've noticed that I'm able to hit 40mb/s with boost, but things fall apart just the same when evening comes. I also constant packetloss, even during non-congested hours.

The test were done via a direct connection to the router.

I'm with Rogers in Scarborough and my subdivision runs along McNicoll, and is about a 5 minute drive from the actual POI itself and I have no issues with my 25/2 package during peak hours, so I doubt it's node congestion.

Thank you for that. I checked with my neighbor last night and he was able to stream in 1080p on netflix just fine, while my connection is constantly trying to buffer 720p.

Well, if this situation doesn't improve in about about a month, I'll have to look for another ISP, unfortunately. I really do like Teksavvy though.

I'm being told that the switch to ATPIA on April 10th should fix the congestion issue. If things don't improve, I'll have to jump ship.
