Frontier DSL outage in North Idaho? Very high packet loss.Since Sunday evening, my DSL connection has been atrocious. Ping times sky-rocketed to multiple seconds or just no reply at all for long stretches. Bandwidth dropped to near dial-up speeds. Both my new GT784WN and the Frontier 7550 modem still synch solidly at 1788/445 with no errors, so I don't believe its the local loop.
I had to convince Frontier service that there was a problem. He kept telling me I have a slow package so things will be slow. What convinced him was running Frontier speed test and it came back with this at 9am in the morning:
Download Speed: 75 kbps (9.4 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 25 kbps (3.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 785 ms
I've been seeing around 200 down and 250 up, instead of my usual 1490/350ish speedtest results. |
