Re: [Speed Issues] Grants Pass, OR still getting slow speeds.... My technician stated that congestion is a high possibility. Under Charter's agreements, when everyone is using the internet and it becomes "congested", their system will automatically "manage" the users who are using the most bandwidth. That is on Charter's official site.
It's disgusting. |

Grants Pass, OR | I can confirm extremely slow speeds here in the Grants Pass area.
I thought it was something local to my girlfriend's house, however when I came out here to my house (100mbit), the speeds are still terrible. 3 mbit down, 5.5mbit up. This is so far from being 100mbit that it's simply just silly.. been like this off and on for the last, oh, I dunno maybe a week. I was finally fed up and came out here to my house to re-download some games on my new laptop and voila, same speed results here. Pings around 150-200 to the head-end in Medford.
Was really hoping to get done and out of here in a third the time tonight, but, doesn't look like I will be that lucky.
It's been so great for so long now, it's just Murphy's law that I would actually NEED the faster speeds I pay for at my house, and I can't get them... but when the extra speed doesn't give me much benefit, it'll be peggin' 105mbit all day long.
*facepalm*
Hopefully it will fix itself like, an hour ago.
On a second note, I am thankful we got a new DVR box - the last one just simply died a few days ago without warning and had to get a new motorola unit. |
