Re: [Connectivity] Horrible slowness at night -Somerville, MA

All,

I'm looking into this and will post a reply shortly, I don't believe this is any sort of issue at the node or at your house, it looks to be a issue of congestion and available bandwidth. Let me do some digging and I'll will post a reply shortly.

Thanks Jason, keep us posted!

Just as another data point I've been noticing this since I signed up with RCN this summer. When it was first installed I did a speed test and got like 8mbps on a 10mbps plan, totally within spec. I've been too busy with life in general to focus any attention on it, but the few speed tests I ran since then averaged around 2mbps down.
Don't have network specs for you since I'm at work, but I'm near Tufts in western Somerville.

Hi Jason,

It's been a week since you said you would reply shortly. Any update? Speeds are still atrocious, with more people attesting to that.

Agreed. I'd like a reply and news about whether some type of credit will be issued for all the bandwidth I've paid for but never received.

Now it's been 2 weeks since you promised to "reply shortly"... what's the deal? Have you abandoned us?
