Selenia posted : The bullshit continues. Slow speeds for months. Good modem signal levels. Decent speeds in the wee hours of the morning. At peak time, seems anyone I visit in town, besides myself, is suffering along with me. Huge packet loss, bad download speeds. Changing the mtu of my network interface to 576 on the wan side seems to help with recovering from all that packet loss, making the connection somewhat useful. Been a long time since I reviewed TWC and this has been going on for so long that it is about to be included in my review update. You aren't gonna like me, TWC!!

Edit: Taking forever just to download a 168MB netinstall image of Debian for a machine I am putting back online. Plugging along around 50KB/sec

Edit2: Worth noting even a download of that size would likely die with mtu set at 1500, 1492(yes, I know that's PPPoE, but auto actually says 1480 on this line), or auto.

future1 posted : I got a letter that things were speeding up. Yet I'm still waiting. Sure the speed "test" says things are faster but that is just so FALSE. Compare a Bus Vs. a Roadster. The Roadster (Time Warner) goes faster only in TW conducted tests on their own network. But the Bus brings soooo much more data across the finish line. Hence TW is just full of hot air (lies). Listening them tell their scripted lies is almost too much to bear. Every once in awhile a level tech sounds surprised we know what they're actually doing when explained to them. And to boot, they refuse to stop charging for equipment rental even though we've stopped using their modems and have bought our own modem and router for years now. They're no better than the other corporations that are for-profit at all costs even when it sticks it to the consumer.

where are you located? you have an interesting setup with 549MHz not being used for DOCSIS. Maybe in your area 78 (549MHz) is the amplifier pilot channel that keeps the main line amps balanced.

I would guess you are somewhere in NY state? I have seen posts here at dsl reports that show the 23.8MHz and 19MHz channels being used for upstream in NY state including NYC.

If there was an area problem, a reboot will not resolve, same as a line issue.

anon posted : I am in Fairport, NY. Periodically our connection slows to a crawl and stays slow. When I re-boot the modem I get a fast connection that may stay fast for days to weeks. I wonder if this is a problem TWC will fix if I request it. Otherwise it is easier to just keep re-starting the modem.

it would be nice to know what frequencies your modem is using along with the SNR.

Could you copy and paste all of the info as power level does not give enough info alone.

example from my modem stats:

4 Locked TDMA and ATDMA 12 2560 Ksym/sec 24500000 Hz 42.2 dBmV

I am curious to know what upstreams your modem is bonding along with downstreams. Curious to see how TWC set up the upstreams in your area to see how much bandwidth they have enabled on the upstream.

anon posted : Speeds have been lousy in Bar Harbor (ME) for the last month or so. Sporadic intervals of half download speeds (on a 15Mb/1Mb connection). Most of the time it's been down around 2-3Mb down and today it's dropped to 0.5Mb (466Kb/578kb). The TWC's maintenance page doesn't state anything specific happening locally. I hope they get their act together soon.

Same here. A web accelerator/cache on my phone and squid caches on my laptop and network(network one consults the one on laptop if I accessed sites on it from elsewhere, not to mention caching what I loaded on wifi saves 4G data and speeds up inferior APs I run into) have often saved me from an even worse experience. You are so far from me yet same issue. Signal is good, so is VoIP even. Seems to only affect http. Not using http/https ports for OpenVPN results in a much faster and more stable VPN connection. Wonder if them preparing to participate in 6 strikes and setting up.new hardware for browser redirections and such has anything to do with it.

Yea, I dunno. Strange thing is I went to »www.timewarnercable.com/en/resid···est.html and did the speed test that connects to the OHIO RDC and got 56.65 down and 5.16 up.

Speedy Petey posted : I'm in the Hudson Valley, NY.
For the past two nights my RR internet has been PAINFULLY slow.
I'll say that even though I have the speed boost it is still not really that fast even on a good night.
I realize nights are peak times but this is pathetic.

Does anyone have any insight?
