| Re: Longmont Comcast HSI actually, since i raised cain, i haven't had any problems. after looking at some of my test logs, i noticed that prior to the problems i was having, my speed was higher than normal:
2004-12-21 20:11:38 Speed test @ ec 2653/230 kbps
2004-12-21 20:09:35 Line quality 0% loss latency 46.8ms
2004-12-21 19:43:44 Line quality 25% loss latency 46.5ms
2004-12-21 17:01:59 Speed test @ ec 3481/344 kbps
hopefully, this was due to the speed increases we are supposed to be getting.
the jury is still out. | |

@comcast.net | Re: Longmont Comcast HSI Wow, that is some good speed esp. on the upload. I'm glad everything seems to have worked out. I know I can't wait for the speed increase.

| Comcast needs some work I agree with you. I'm having similar problems, though not so bad. I'm hovering around the 300k mark right now, though I should be at 3000/150. The only time I see an improvement is if I hook a good torrent on Azureus and have time to optimize my settings for it. I've peaked at about 3114 on a bitchin torrent that had a lot of hosts to hook, but I shouldn't have to wait for a great torrent to get the speeds I need to see if I'm doing some major downloading.
My only suggestion to everyone is check your lines, both your coax and your CAT5. I was having problems initially because the crap in my walls is older than I am, and that's a feat. My CAT was impeccable but the biggest slowdown was my house lines and Comcast's repeater/amplifier. Their amp hadn't been serviced for over two years and it was 3hz off sync. Once they fixed that everybody's reception and carrier signal improved.
One last tip for all the Comcast users using Comcast cable modems: find the IP for your modem and punch it in to your favorite browser. Run through the sys settings and find the syslog whenever you have a tech come out. Show them the log, especially if it is an intermitent problem. That's how they figured out the problem with the amp and sent a line tech.
