Kitchener Slow Speeds

 
 
 
Click for full size
I am regularly seeing slow speeds now between the period of 4-12PM on my TSI cable (28/1). Tonight I stopped gaming because my ping was 300+ on any server I tried. The speeds I typically see are less then 8Mbps down and around 50% of what the upload should be.

I didn't really want to start another topic but I'd love to hear from others users in the area.

Most of the speedtests I tried just time out or couldn't complete the upload portion of the test. It may just be local node congestion but I have a D3 modem with 8x4 channel bonding at 256QAM and 16QAM respectively. I would hope that this network configuration would alleviate some of these issues.

I'm doubtful that this is POI congestion but if there was a time period for it around 8pm would be it.

Hello c2roth,

I do not want to take the topic away from being in public, but can you create a direct Teksavvy post with your account info? This is so I can see if it truly is POI congestion or not.

If anyone else is having slow speeds in the Kitchener area, let us know!

Thanks for the responses guys.

I'll make a direct forum thread for this and see what we can determine. I've been collecting speedtests, pingtests, tracerts, and clusters of 100 pings to common websites. I also setup a line monitor within the TekSavvy group and the data it collected last night shows the crazy high pings I was seeing.

I wasn't able to test this morning to see if things had cleared up but that is the next step along with rebooting the modem.

Maybe local node congestion?

No problems here, but I did have something similar to you that lasted a couple days a couple of months ago, where most of my speed tests would not even complete properly. It just ended up going away, perhaps local upgrades going on, no idea.

Right now I am at max speeds.

Quick update. After going through the standard tests I got some more details:

East Cost Line Monitor: »ny-monitor.dslreports.com/r3/cri···and=3905

West Coast Line Monitor: »64.81.79.40/r3/cricket/grapher?t···and=3905

Pings have been TERRIBLE in the past 72 hours. I cannot do anything sensitive to latency. Gaming and VOIP (Skype) are both non-functional at this point.

Notice the terrible pings for the second hop, I think this is the CMTS? Then the POI link looks congested. Whats weird is that the traffic goes over one link and then over another. That seems backwards. I would think that traffic would be handed off the TSI link to another segment further down the network.

Ping statistics for 24.212.140.161:
Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 99, Lost = 1 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 6ms, Maximum = 555ms, Average = 402ms


Nice average ping of 402ms to my gateway...yuck

I'm not sure as to cause of this but service had been rock solid in terms of speed and latency since installation in June. Something locally must have changed in the past week or so.
