Charter Spectrum → [Connectivity] Speed Issues...

I just upgraded to 3Mb/256Kb last night. When I first got upgraded I ran some speed tests and my speeds were fine. But since late last night, and up to now, my speeds have been all over the place. My download will range from 1.5-3.2Mb. And my upload speed ranges between 128-256Kb...usually the lower half.

Here's a couple speed tests I just ran. It seems that the speakesasy tests on here are they ones not giving me very well results?

So what's wrong? What should I do?

Have you tweaked your new 3Mbps connection?

Run a tweak test for us here -- »/tweaks

service: cable
speed advertised: 3000
operating system: (Put your OS)
connection: normal

Post URL when you are complete.

Okay, here's the URL to my tweak test. The only difference I did was put in 3072Kb/s for the line speed instead of 3000 like you said. I thought I would be more exact since that's what 3Mb really is.

»ttester.broadbandreports ··· a=normal

Your tweak test looks pretty good.

What are you getting from »chi.speakeasy.net ?

It seems like I'm getting low speeds from all of the speakeasy or BBR speed tests. Most of the times this one works fine though.

I noticed the same thing since we got the 3M upgrade. Don't know why that should be. I have run a tweak test and everyting looks good there. Maybe the system just has to balanced out after all the upgrades being pushed?

yes, my upload seems a tad teetery since the upgrade. and i agree with Viking71, probably needs a litle tweaking on charters end. *crosses fingers*
