one thing can be that the miami routers are so heavily loaded that they take a short time to respond to a ping request while routing the ping request packets through rather quickly. (routing is faster than replying to the ping) the latency on a normal connection then comes from the fact that while some ping packets get pushed through quickly the much larger data volume from the connection of course gets slowed up by the bottleneck.

frankly i don't understand the obsession with the amount of servers onelink is supposed to be running. even if it were just one server, all it would do is authentication and dhcp. if at all. onelink doesn't host the web. the web is hosted on millions of servers all over the globe. that is why routing is such an important issue. the routing equipment an isp has to get onto the major backbones (and in this case the bottleneck getting onto just such a backbone) is what influences the quality of service.

the way the education system is in the shitter nowadays a few edited report cards don't make a difference i think.

they aren't moving any servers anywhere. afaik all the infrastructure was purchased by san juan cable including the offices employess servers etc. etc. etc. the 2 servers that are serving the powerlink service sound like what adelphia (the us one, which is btw also in a transition phase to a buyer) is using to provide service for the island from miami. which is why pings go to hell once they hit miami. from what i've seen the pr side of the net is actually ticking over smoothly.

the 3 keys use beyond a gimmick seems very restricted... 200 days nonstop use mtbf? 100 bucks for a 3 key means ~4000 for the fullsize? with also a 200 day mtbf for the oleds?

talked to tech. no dice. they don't know what the deal is yet. i hope they lose adelphia asap and hook up with another provider in miami. soon!!!!! btw, anyone here figured out how to use their webmailer by logging on directly in the url instead of typing it into the logon page every time? as in webmail.onlinkpr.net/user/pass or something of the kind? there was a trick for that with the adelphia webmailer which let you save an url in favorites to avoid manual login... and have you also had spam in the account before even opening it the first time?

modem is capped at 4000000 bit/sec down 384000up

remember that centennial more likely than not has similar troubles. there is only one seacable to the mainland and that hits in miami. and i have seen complaints from centennial users as well. onelink is not likely to get hings unscrewed too quickly, i'm expecting at least a month of negotiations if not more. depends on the contract with adelphia for the backbone and what capacities other providers have available.

this is awesome. now there is 'word from the grapevine'! lol. yeah, i heard they are permanentely blocking all p2p and torrents. they are going to start lawsuits against the users of that. let's see, what other rumors can i spread to get those filesharing bandwidthwasters to cancel their accounts so the connection flies once they have a new backbone provider from miami, and better routing? on another note, i have noticed an increase in the number of hops inside the local onelink net before seeing the miami routers. looks like there is indeed some change going on.

rotflmbfhao has anyone tried a tracert to the onlinkpr.com and .net? both hosted stateside. one goes to the sprint the other to the alternet backbone. one would think that their site would be hosted local on their own net. lolololol

how do they route you off the island? and more importantly, do they keep you on the island if you access a local site? haven't tested it lately but adelphia/onelink used to route to local sites via miami to dallas back to miami back here. onelink is far better than the dsl i had here and lots better than d-way. i'd like to see em fix it. but frankly i am surprised they managed to keep it working at all.

gonna have to go with the steelers. in fact i would go with any afc team as long as the #%^$&$ seahwks lose.

the interesting thing i have noticed is that when the service goes flaky and i release and renew the wan ips on my router i get no ip at all or an ip without a connection. in some cases i get nan ip that is not from the 70.x.x.x range onelink uses but one that is from the 169.x.x.x range adelphia used to have. that tells me that the local dhcp is off the net and for some reason the dhcp requests by the modem are gotting bumped to miami where they get an adelphia ip. the latest info i have is still that the local net is fine and from all things going on it seems ok as long as they are not rearranging things while they are still trying to get a hookup in miami that doesn't get overloaded during peak hours. any time the link is slow the slowdown is still only visible on pings and traceroutes at or after the miami hops.

don't know bout p2p, as for capping, i think not. if possible they give the speed to your modems cap as far as i can tell. right now i get around 2 mbit testing, give or take 500k.

i current;y am running untweaked, but i would say a 4/384 file for cable then...

remember to change cablenut files if you use them since the modem caps were lowered.

uhm. durrrrrr. head 'urts. sorry my bad.

exactly. 256 up. daco. lol. by the time i finish explaining to them what a data connection via cable is, i can get fios here.

should be reported. if only to alert the guy that he has a comp that is part of a botnet. the isp should just give him a headsup and monitor him to see if he is actively doing it or not. (of course, if the comp is a zombie, it's hard to tell the difference. open any e-mail attachments lately? )

since when is prtshits dsl unrestricted? do you think i wanted to pay more and therefore went to adelphia? i wanted a more stable connection and open ports so i can use things like pcanywhere and so on. and i just checked my modem to see why the ul went down. upstream used to be 4800000, is now 4000000. downstream went from 480000 to 384000. so with the 375 kbit/s i'm maxing it exactly. thank god for small favors. (as i'm only paying for 256 up, as we all are, i'm not gonna call tech support to complain... although it does annoy me a bit.) i'm not even saying that the p2p will affect much, a block on certain ports is too easy to evade. but i am a troll and therefor i saw the need to comment. as for distributing the bandwidth among the clients, i think they are doing exactly that. the problem is that at the moment the pipe in miami is clogged. got drano?

and miami as hop number x will not change. that is where the undersea cable comes from. what might change is the quality of the connection in miami, the routing from miami, the provider that does the routing from miami. since onelink seems to be a completely seperate entity from adelphia, having taken over all of their network (ok, it wasn't adelphias to begin with, it was a pair of companies operating it under the adelphia name) which can be seen by the cessation of the netpak, music and webmail, of which only the webmail has been replaced so far, the music is in the works (they need to make a contract with a musicdownload provider), there is hope that either they make a better deal with adelphia for the backbone hookup in miami or change the provider there altogether. that is what is going to take a little time to gel out, meanwhile they are probably constantly complaining to the miami folks about the quality of the connection. the same problem has existed for quite some time, just not as noticable to the casual observer. but from earlier tech support calls i know that most slowdowns over the last year or so have been coming from miami. probably because of the semi-adelphia status of the local net.

neither. a wrong dns would mean you don't get the page at all. packet loss would mean that the site starts sending but the packets end up in nirvana. if the packet loss was so bad it caused the noticable web page slowdown speeds would not be what they are. i think it is simply slow routing and switching on their end, causing high latency. look at it this way, it's better than dway...

my ul dropped from 440 to 375 now. my dl is around 2 - 2.5 right now. blocking p2p is good. itunes shouldn't be affected, since that isn't p2p. and gaming should not be affected by the p2p blocking at all, the oppositre should be the case. i have however noticed that connections are inconsistent, which could be the problem with the gaming. if they are currently trying to get the routing in miami, then that could explain the gaming problem. san juan star today had a shoirt article on onelink. they want to offer hdtv for some channels and voip by prolly late in the year, they want to make sure that their net is ready for it. the way it looks now they have work to do...

good. that should free up some bandwidth. as for the problem with evening speeds, i hope they get the linkup in miami with another provider. that all depends on how san juan cable is tied in with the adelphia network contract wise, but due to the fact that the net pak and the music service is ending at the same time the adelphia webmail is dead for us i think they are pretty much ontheir own, which should leave them open to go to a different backbone provider.
