    Flaid got a reaction from Pgoodwin1 in Modem Speed Degredation   
    Well, ever since I contacted my ISP (and they did nothing) and started testing speed regularly, I have not had to reboot the modem and everything has been smooth as silk.

    So I'm really thinking they must've just unchecked the "mess with this guy" box on my account.  Oh well!

    Well, I have been running automatic speed tests every 30 minutes for the past 5 hours (ever since the last time I power cycled), and everything seems to be working as expected.  A minor drop once, but I was also using the Internet on a different machine throughout the day, so that could easily explain that.
     
    I guess I'll just have to keep monitoring it and see if it is really degrading over time or if it is happening all at once.  I assume it is over time because I've seen it at 20 Mbps, 15 Mbps, 10 Mbps, and even 2 Mbps.  Unfortunately, I only ever notice when something starts buffering or seems particularly slow... and by that time it is already crawling.

    I don't know, I may have fought them quite a bit about their "activation fee" when I first signed up.  Since I had the equipment in hand, I wasn't sure why a tech needed to come out to the place and screw on the cable.  They gave me a lot of mumbojumbo about checking to make sure the line hasn't been damaged by wildlife, etc, etc...  When I asked to speak to the corporate office, they gave me $10 off.  And maybe flagged my account for being snarky (?)
