Might be a major hacker attack. Something odd happened today I started playing cod ghosts today and all the names of online games were changed . For example team death match to pow POW others to pcp and some bad words. |

huh? if you can connect to the server then it aint a hacker problem. You need to think it this through with a clear head. |

I hope you know this, but the switched names was an April Fools joke from Infinity Ward, the developer of the game. » www.charlieintel.com/201 ··· ls-joke/Nothing to do with the cable outage we experienced yesterday. |

Why is it that the free internet is charging people left and right. |

The term "Free" in "Free Internet" is not "Free" as in "without cost", but rather "Free" as in untethered or "Open" ... and to SOME extent that's true. But as the internet moved from being a research and communications tool by universities and other such organisations, commercialism took hold, and that is an invitation to closure. |

Really the movement towards the 'closing' of the internet didn't happen right away. There has been a pretty decent tradition of commercial entities understanding that open = good and open = profitable. Sadly, the biggest threats to the "Free" internet right now are the big telecom providers, who seem to feel they should be paid twice for the same bits and are trying to impose nonsensical tariffs. This is what happens when companies who are used to being gatekeepers to proprietary networks are allowed to operate without proper regulation. Shareholders demand each bit be monetized to the utmost; a situation that's almost antithetical to the concept of the "free" internet. |

Eventually no matter who the corporation puts in that position, they can't make more money, so they get fired, replace with a new CEO who can't either, rinse and repeat. At this point the empire falls down. |

I've noticed since last weekends outage (not TekSavvy issue I know) tat pings to various sites has gotten worse. Some of the servers that I usually have great pings to have now gone from 50ms (in the worst case) to upwards of 100ms or more. Was the root cause of last weekends outage hardware failure and it was replaced with an inferior piece of hardware at the fail point???
Cheers,

Hi there,
We did make a few routing changes since the outage but they needed to be done. There was a fix that Gabe did yesterday to tata routing.
This may or may not be related. My suggestion is to call in or post in the direct so we can investigate to be sure.
Thanks,
Andre |

R I've been wondering the same thing, it seems like that since the outsage last week the internet speeds and connection stability isn't what it used to be. I too have been thinking that either the replacement hardware was configured poorly or replaced with worse performing hardware than what was previously in place. I haven't done any ping tests per say but I get d/c's on PS3 and many stalls/stutters, my bandwidth spikes and drops all the time rather than a steady flat line when downloading backups from my dedicated server, and I still notice minor stalling and stuttering here and there when browsing. It just doesn't seem clean anymore, like we're on a dirty and bogged down connection. |
|
|
Run ping -n 50 google.com in command prompt. I'm willing to bet you're dropping a lot of packets, same as I am.
I'm dropping about 40% packets as of posting. Unacceptable. |
|
|
Yea it just doesn't make sense. Some websites load quickly, others are just slow. Gmail for example, it is extremely slow to the point where I have to tunnel in through SSH on my own dedicated server since the pipe between my server and here seems to be OK most of the time, but from going here to gmail just stalls out or tells me I should switch to gmail HTML due to slow loading times. I suspect it's either their traffic shaping killing us even in the off hours, or after the downtime a few days ago with the hardware failure, Rogers replaced their hardware with something worse performing and inferior to what was there previously. |
|
|
Well if its the traffic shaping for Zap the Gap doing this, it's super effective. I'll never exceed that cap at 25-40% packet loss and sub 1MB/s speeds now. |

I posted a whole slew at request in my Direct Support request. I'm getting sub 1MB/s speeds. According to » speedtest.teksavvy.com/ 0.67 / 0.18 (on the 45/4 plan) ping -n 50 google.com Ping statistics for 74.125.226.104: Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 31, Lost = 19 (38% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 13ms, Maximum = 39ms, Average = 20ms |

It's enough to stop me from being able to play some games which are sensitive to connection stability, and cause a noticeable degradation in VOIP quality. I'd been hoping it would resolve itself, but it doesn't seem to be doing so, so if you guys can take a look, I'd appreciate it. edit: I was mistaken on the plan details, speedtest reports make more sense now. Thanks to the poster who pointed that out. |

If you're on the 18Mbps plan, your upload is 512Kbps. |

Cable Internet is out here in Rob Ford country (Etobicoke). What up? Seriously - After what was a long streak of reliability, things have really been glitch the last few weeks. Very annoyed because this latest outage happened right while I was configuring a router, which lead me to believe I had screwed something up. Urge to kill, rising...
Edit - false alarm. It was router related. While I was troubleshooting, I called TSI, and auto message stated there was an outage in Toronto.
Banging hear to wall..... Sigh... |
