Re: Network Testing Underway I'm not even going to justify quotes with names. You know what you said.Meanwhile I'm still getting 78KB/s at this moment on a server I got 480KB/s before the upgrade. I'm glad you in Kentucky have perfect service. Here in my neck of the woods we get told it's because the "students" came back and come mid November it will be fixed. So what I expect, after the "upgrades" my speed may increase to what it should be now, but because of the "students" it will never be the same.
When you call and complain about speeds at 8PM because the usage is overloading the node and they send out a tech at 8AM just to tell you everything is fine, there is a problem. On top of that, the techs themselves will tell you its because of the "students" coming back.
If you oversell your service to the point that I'm getting less than 1MB/s now...upgrading me to 6MB/s or what ever so I get 2-3MB/s isn't going to cure the problem. If you give more bandwidth to the ones who are sucking it up, they will just use more.
I could care less about some one getting faster speeds than I do first. I would just like some where close to what my advertised speeds are supposed to be. I could get crappy speeds(happy now?) on dial up consistently for $9.99 a month. How many more months of credit is insight willing to give me before they "fix" the problem? I haven't paid for my weak connection for 3 months as of today. I would gladly pay double for the service I used to have.
(The paragraph that formally was here has been retracted)
For those of you who say switch providers...we have no other choice except Verizon....please. All I am asking for is my advertised speed at the price I was quoted. Give me that, and you can bet I will never "complain" in this forum again.
You want my praise Mr. Wilner? Explain to me why all 4 techs that have been to my house blame it on over sold service. Then explain to me why they all tell me the equipment to fix the problem is sitting in storage. (I removed the rest of this paragraph because it was just uneeded.) |

1 edit | This is true, no better than 53kbps, and even then you would be pretty lucky. Broken Hyperbole. Honestly is he even a Insight customer, since I see Verizon listed under his avatar, or just a troll here to rant for fun. I fail to see how Verizon is not competition, that is as much or more than most have.
I did read his review.
quote:
All in all it's not too bad. I had cable for a total of four hours and went back to Verizon. Cables speeds just were not as consistent as Verizons. That is the way it was at my house any way. Others may have better results. When Verizon changed over to the 71.** Ip blocks thats when the real problems started. They say they are working on it. Time will tell I suppose. All in all not a bad deal for your money as long as you have patience. Edit:11/07/05---Well it's been almost two years with Verizon now. About a month ago I had some real bad problems. Speed would slow down to below 28K. I called Verizon, it was fixed with-in 24 hours. I have to say what ever they did worked. This is the best uptime I have had in a long time. My pages load up faster, my browser doesn't time out, downloads are smooth. It just plain works the way it should. If my service stays like this Verizon has me for a long time to come. Just, PLEASE, give me FIOS.
I smell a troll. |

He doesn't know the difference between KB/s and kb/s - just let him keep thinking he knows what he's talking about  |

He can just keep waiting on FIOS because verizon IL will be sold before they even roll the service out. What I don't get is you are a verizon customer why complain now? Also I lived in bloomington IL for 3 years and had insight speeds never went below advertised. Someone needs to lay off the coffee...... |

You can smell all you want. I never took the time to change my profile. Actually I haven't even thought of looking at it until now. If you would like a copy of my monthly bill I would be more than happy to provide it. You guys crack me up. Just because it says I used Verizon it means I can't ever switch service? Verizon moved things around and I went from being 9600 feet from the CO. to well over 12,000. They then proceeded to tell me I no longer qualify for the 3MB service because of this. I then changed to insight, The 768 that Verizon was going to provision me at was worthless to me. Frankly I could care less what my profile says. I haven't done a review of insight for my happy little profile for the same reason..I don't care. My service at insight was perfect at the beginning then when the students came back it went to crap. The techs themselves said they are oversold. I am supposed to just accept that? Would you?
And I do know the difference between KB and kb. If I get a speed test result of 3755 kb I can pretty much count on a download speed of 460-470 KB. When that turns into 56-125 KB there is a problem. What do I have to do next post a speed test tonight between 8pm and 5AM? It figures the real "trolls" have nothing better to back their crap up with but typos. I wish just because my service worked good I could just assume that no one else should be having problems. Just because you used to live here doesn't mean everything is still the same. Plenty of people are complaining about their service. If mine was working fine why would I say other wise? |
