Crapsavvy - Another slow night on cable

Here we go again 8 Mbps, good thing I got my downloading done earlier... Called tech support ... 10 mins on hold and still waiting. Why can't this be fixed?

Because there is more than enough capacity to go around apparently.

Because networks are complex and there are at least a handful of spots where something could cause the performance issues you're seeing. Without the ability to look at the traffic stats and other counters with all devices from your end all the way to TSIs it makes it a lot more difficult to determine where the performance issue is. I don't believe TSI has any ability to look into Rogers network or at the nodes themselves.

I have already sent them my stats last week and was told there were no problems.

There's almost no chance that's true. London is on ATPIA, if there was a London-wide capacity issue everyone in Ontario (except a couple areas) would be feeling it.

You should post both line stats and speed test results here if possible. Sometimes the speed test itself is the problem, sometimes Rogers is messing around.

Do you think it will be another crapsavvy night???? It's working very well right now, but once 8:30pm comes around ... Your 150/10 becomes 6/10.

People have asked you to show tests and tracerts, but you keep coming on here (with two different logins) to use juvenile terms like "Crapsavvy". You'd be much better-served to stop with the insults and just post some test results. People will try to help.

I have given my real name.. spend hours with Techsupport .. being told there is no problem. I'm frustrated.. it's not my router.. it's not my computer... it's Teksavvy. If it was my equipment, it would be constantly crappy. I'm only home during their crappy hours.. sucks to be me.. My wife get's to enjoy the 150/10 package while I'm at work. It downgrades every single night.. YES every single night. On a good night I will get 15 mpbs.. This isn't the speedtest server.. Im an Apple developer and download from apple, I get incredible speeds in the AM... download 1 gig files in less than a min.... at night.. 2 - 3 hours.. WHY CAN'T THEY FIGURE THIS OUT.. I HAVE GIVEN THEM THE INFORMATION AND TIME FRAMES... Rubbish....

Can you install MTR or (winmtr) and run a test against our DNS server? (206.248.154.22)

Ideally I'd like to see it run over a 5 minute time lapse while you experience slowdowns.

That's based on the assumption that a capacity issue can only happen at TSIs end of the ATPIA backhaul and if that were the case then yes it is most likely it would affect everyone. There is always the possibility there could be capacity issues with Rogers at the London end of the network or somewhere in between London and York Mills. It's not as if Bell hasn't had issues on their network on their end instead of TSIs.

FWIW TSI did acknowledge a congestion issue in response to my 6 month review update.
quote:
In regards to the congestion issues, it's something that both ourselves and our vendor are aware of. They have confirmed that they are working on resolving these issues along with completing the ATPIA upgrades. Unfortunately since this is more of routine maintenance than the APTPIA upgrades, we have no ETA as to when this will be completed. This is also partially dependent on the DOCSIS 2 modems many customers are using. Although they are still capable of using these modems any new sign ups, upgrades to a higher tier speed or a move to a new location will require a DOCSIS 3 modem which puts less strain on the infrastructure it's self. Unfortunately this is not a instant remedy that will cause the congestion to go away, but it will in time have quite an impact on the congestion issues you see today.

9 PM peak time speed test on a 35/3 connection. It's been getting progressively worse since late June for me. (From basically losing a few megabits "oh I guess its just a slow night to now being 1/3 capacity).

No idea what Jon is talking about there. There is currently no congestion problem on our end. If there are problems, and this may be what Jon was talking about I'm not sure... They would be downstream from us...

I took it to mean node type congestion that is outside of TSI control. The symptoms I am experiencing remind me of what my brother experienced a few years ago as the Berkshire area's infrastructure started to implode. It was ultimately resolved by rogers upgrading the area.

I'm aware, but when the OP is lobbing insults at TSI, I take it to mean that he's blaming them for the capacity issues. Node congestion is the most likely problem, but that's 100% Rogers...of course if that's the case, Rogers customers on that node would be having the same issues.

I fully understand that when people tend to make such comments Nothing should be ruled out and there needs to be proper investigation to determine what the source of the performance issues are on a case by case basis.

I live in London. I have had an absolute terrible experience since upgrading to 150/10. At 9:00AM my speedtests to Toronto are around 120Mbps down. When I run a speed test anywhere else in the world at 9:00AM the most I get is 38Mbps down. I was bouncing back and forth with teksavvy in the direct forum. I think my thread has 3 or 4 pages worth of data. Teksavvy escalated my issue to Rogers who returned saying there's nothing wrong.

At night, during actual peak times. My speedtests are below 10Mbps down. It's currently 10:10PM and here's my test to Toronto right now:




There is obviously an issue somewhere. Rogers can say there is nothing wrong.. But I tell you what, I never once had a single complaint with my internet service before I upgraded. I was on a 28/1 package and it was always reliable and constant no matter what time of the day it was.

My home network is configured for 1Gbps. All cables and router are verified and between computers through my router I can transfer avg. 120MB/s

I know that this isn't Teksavvy's fault and I do appreciate that they do their best to help me out, but at the end of the day, I am paying TekSavvy for a service and receiving piss poor results.

After being delayed on my 2nd ticket to support and dealing with this situation for 2 weeks without any progress I finally threw up my arms and ordered DSL. My new DSL is set to be installed tomorrow and after the installation is complete I will be cancelling my cable. I would not recommend the 150/10 package to anyone.

I saw TSI Gabe's post about WinMTR. Here are my results from a 5min test. Host: 206.248.154.22

I'd love to know numbers wise how many customers end up switching from cable to DSL (and enough of those customers came from DSL in the first place) just so they can have something usable. Rogers will end up just driving a certain percentage of customers back to Bell infrastructure.

I can verify that this is the case in Whitby area right now .. and every single night without fail my 150/10 drops to low 30s and sometimes into the single digits right around the 9PM mark.
