| We did meet before and you did a great job when you were here. I hear you about the day off, ENJOY. Whenever you can take a look at it would be great. Weekends are when they are the worse for speed loss or weekdays between 4-10 PM. Today (Friday April 18th has been very good, no problems).
Take care.

Can you give more details on your "Cisco dual WAN router"? What model router are you using, and have you tried bypassing the router for some testing direct to your PC?
Everything looks good currently.
Thanks,

Hi DrDog.
Well things have gone from good to really bad. We had a notice in our building PVC was going to be making some improvements to our building and yet I can't get close to the speeds that I was getting. It was like they add a couple of hundred extra connections to our already overloaded node. Am back to surfing at 1-3 megs most of the time with peaks in off hours from 6-8 megs. I giving this one last chance and then I am pulling the plug on Cogeco as I am so tired of this up and down speeds.

| Not sure Randy, I have been off since Wednesday, it is possible they may not be done yet.
I seriously doubt they added more connections in your node, if anything they would have split the node.
But I suspect they were doing panel upgrades, you would not believe what the panel look like on your roof, I will check in on the posted alerts later today
And thanks Urban, got to meet your neighbours the other day, I thought the bldg at end of their property was an outhouse. lol |

| I can believe it when you say the panel looks like crap. Maybe that is what is holding them up as I haven't seen them in over a week. I couldn't even get connected to facebook until I closed the Cogeco connection and switched over to the standby Teksavvy connection. |
