Noticed a couple of improvements instantly that I like. The reason they changed the modem was that they hooked up their laptop and ran speed tests and noticed a fluctuation in upload and download speeds. They said they and been reading article that there was a lot of problems with the Arris TM602 keeping a constant speed. So they install an Arris WBM706a modem with a splitter so I can use the old modem for my phone and the new one for my internet. They still share the same coax to the box out side. They were speed testing from here to Chicago since they said Muskogee Oklahoma main line is fiber optic straight to Chicago IL. Then it goes back to Tyler Texas. The new modem fix the speed fluctuation and is constant now. As the new modem gives an instant ip address to my router as soon as you plug up the modem (NICE)! But the sad part is I am trying play a online game on my PS3 and I can not even play to night because the lag is so bad. Before the modem was replace the PS3 speediest utility was reading 6-8 meg download and 1.1 meg upload pretty constant. After the modem replacement while the technicians were still here it dropped to 3 and 4 meg download. Tonight it is 785.6kbps dnld and 302.4kbps upload. I can not even begging to play with the screen jumping so bad. So I just shut it down. The Suddenlink Technicians said that there was not too many people on this node so they didn't think it was an oversold node. These are the same technicians that have come out several times in the past. They were also having problems running on their small laptop that was about 1/3 the size of my MacBook Pro. It was showing slow speeds, so they finally hooked ran the speed test on my Mac Pro desktop and it worked a lot better. It just seems like I should not be having these problems since their is a fiber optic line.? I Suddenlink Tech even was talking about his PS3 on wireless and I said there is no way I will try that again because my speeds drop almost in half with wireless. I haven't had much time to run test since yesterday but I will try in the morning.
