 | Ouch, that's a bit more congestion than I'd like to see. What city are you in? I wonder if its your node or the Teksavvy link causing that. |

 TSI MarcPremium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14 | We're running at about 90% but no congestion on our end. We also have another link on the way in a week or two. -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy |

 | Good to know, thanks. I'm waiting to see how DSL and cable pricing end up changing from the CRTC decision before I pick one or the other anyhow.
No plans for aggregated on Shaw for a while then? |

 decxPremium join:2002-06-07 Vancouver, BC | reply to bbbc Good to know thAt a new link is coming. I've been seeing quite a bi congestion during prime time during the last little while as well.
Regarding aggregate on Shaw, it would be nice if others outside of the GVR can get access to cable as well. |

 bbbc join:2001-10-02 NorthAmerica kudos:2 | reply to bbbc Just as a FYI, that 12Mb from yesterday was actually one of my better results with the average being around 8Mb. I will see what happens tonight.
Thanks for the update Marc.

 | reply to bbbc what's the latest bbbc? I was sortof planning to switch from telus to teksavvy cable, but if the performance is crap then that idea isn't a good one.
I know from experience some shaw areas do degrade at night, but 5 mbps isn't shaw that has got to be teksavvy regardless what marc says about congestion. Am I wrong? how are your neighbors doing on shaw? better than you I surmise? |

 | reply to bluenote73 I'm not seeing slow-downs like this at all during peak hours. I've been seeing 22 - 24.5mbps for speedtests during peak. I'll run some more tests and post results tonight when I get home. Location is everything, I suppose... |

So I got those ones, then these


Pretty jumpy results and definitely the worst I've seen. :/ |
|
 | reply to bbbc Any updates? Has this been resolved yet? |
|
 decxPremium join:2002-06-07 Vancouver, BC | I'm still getting congestion during prime time. Right now speed tests are running around the 15-18Mbps mark.
On a semi related note, I'm also seeing some some issues with the routing (currently running through Hurricane Electric) from Vancouver to Toronto (to Teksavvy servers, routers, and servers using TSI for net access). It's causing quite an issue with live video streaming and has been consistently occurring during prime since January or so. |

 | Sounds like you're on an overcrowded node. Pray that shaw feels like splitting it. Until then you're SOL. |
|
 | how does aggregation fit into overloaded node? is this problem going away? |

 decxPremium join:2002-06-07 Vancouver, BC | said by bluenote73:how does aggregation fit into overloaded node? is this problem going away? Nope. An aggregated POI would help with POI capacility issues (unless the links to the aggregated POI is congested), but will not help with node congestion. |
