 | Erratic and low downstream bandwidth this morning I'm currently on the 50/3 package in Greenville, NC. Went to bed last night and everything was working perfect. However, all morning I've had nothing but erratic download speeds that are nowhere near what I normally get. My upstream has been perfect during this entire duration.
All of my signal levels appear to be the same as always. Evidently at some point last night my modem received a firmware update. Previous Firmware: Model Name: SB6120 Vendor Name: Motorola Firmware Name: SB6120-1.0.1.8-SCM02-NOSH Boot Version: PSPU-Boot 1.0.0.4m1 Hardware Version: 3.0 Firmware Build Time: Apr 22 2009 12:15:22
Current Firmware: Model Name: SB6120 Vendor Name: Motorola Firmware Name: SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.8-SCM01-NOSH Boot Version: PSPU-Boot 1.0.0.4m1 Hardware Version: 3.0 Firmware Build Time: Aug 30 2012 15:35:46
Also noticed a SL truck in my neighborhood yesterday evening/night. |

By the way, how do you check on your modem to see what version and software it has? |

 | reply to Chubbzie I'm in Kinston on the 15/1.5 plan and have been having similar issues since late last night. Currently hovering in the 1.5 Mbps range, though it sometimes approaches dialup speeds. |

 gatorkramNeed for SpeedPremium join:2002-07-22 Winterville, NC kudos:2 | Speeds seem to be normal on the internal speed test I use @ »66.76.168.20:8080/myspeed/myhispeed_64s.html
So it must be some kinda interconnection issue with whoever SL connects to the rest of the net with. -- What the heck is a GatorKram? »www.gatorkram.com |

 | reply to Chubbzie I'm not seeing anything offhand. Traffic patterns to NC show normal.
Most of you are using the DC (Beta) server. I see El Loco used two others that showed 30mb but the DC one showed 13m.
Has anyone tested real file transfers to see if those are showing the same results? Also, have ya'll ran any Pingplotter traces to look for packet-loss? |

I tried some ftp transfers, and they were really slow. Not seen any packet loss at all. Will keep poking around on this end. -- What the heck is a GatorKram? »www.gatorkram.com |
