| I've been lucky here, two blocks north of Wheaton Plaza. I've only lost connection once that I know of in the last month or so; that was about 1:30 a.m. Dec. 20. My download test is almost always in the range of 800 to 1200 kbps, which will not set any records, but is much better than the 50 to 100 kbps it used to be in October and November during peak hours.
I must admit I have low expectations. My experience with two months of AOL-DSL was so bad that almost anything seems good by comparison. |

My speeds have gotten better (regularly above 1mbps) of late. As SteveK said, much better than Nov and Oct. I have not checked my packet loss, though. I'm only web browsing, not playing any packet sensitive games.

After a time you may come to realize that having is not such a pleasing thing as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true. |

One month ago my nighttime pings were horrific. Starting at about 4pm it would steeply climb to well over 500ms to some point that was literally off the scale, and not taper off until after 1am.
Then... they fixed it. My pings were mostly flat 24/7, in the 30-40ms range. This lasted a few weeks...
Until.... a couple weeks ago. Things aren't as bad as before, because the bad ping times don't start until about 9pm and "only" hit about 500ms on the worst nights. But the latency times are still lousy.
Some nights are worse than others. Recently they have reached about 200ms, but this may have to do with less overall network traffic--on Xmas Eve there was NO latency bump, but the next night it returned. Things to wonder about: is it related to the transition to the new network? Will the new network be better/worse? |
