said by Symtex:said by ttvtech:You probably had no QoS set to limit you to 50, so you were getting your full sync rate. Something happened to get the profile set right. QoS is supposed to get set when a circuit is set up, but it sometimes ends up wrong, for reasons I don't really know.
You don't want to know *wink*.
I gave TELUS a call and was able to talk to a Manager (must have been in the Tech department somewhere). The guy was very friendly and knowledgeable.
According to him, this what happened:
When I got 50/10, I actually was put on a 100/20 profile. The reason was, so that TELUS could test how far they can push the 100/20 in my area. Since the test is over and I had changes done to my account, I was put on the normal 50/10 profile.
That is to bad, I liked being a "test subject" ...
One thing is odd. When I was on the 100/20 profile, by connection was very stable. The speed was around 75/16 all the time (+/- 2 Mbit or so). It was not fluctuating much at all.
Since I am on the actual 50/10 now, the speed is not very constant. I have seen fluctuations past 10%. If I would have copper, I would get it, but on fiber?
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
