I noticed a cable truck outside on my street on my way home from class today... This morning I ran a test and it was slow as hell, this afternoon I ran one and it was around 2meg and the 2nd one was this... :::..

Thanks for the advice, I'll call in but I guess I didn't make it clear that they already sent a line tech out already. Originally there was not a splitter installed and the power was close to 15, but the system was working fine before, for about a month and a half. Once the splitter was put on it now hovers around 0 or 1. The technician basically said everyone in my area was getting crap and that technically I'm lucky cause some poeple have nada for connectivity. The packet loss test was done by the initial phone tech support and that is what got them to send a guy out. I'll see if I can find out about the upstream SNR but from what the tech said they were doing down at one of the main junctions he doubted anythign would improve for about 2 weeks or so.

I'm in the Carbondale IL Area and their service is total crap as of about 2-3 weeks ago. :::..

On a good night I'll get around 200kb down and about 200 ping, my worst night the ping to my default gateway was 900ms. Mediacom just announced speeds up to 5MEG! My Power level was at about 15 so the cable guy put a spliter on it to lower it down to closer to 0 which he said was supposed to be better.. Dunno if he was BSing me or what but he said all my equipment/signal is top notch and that they are having problems with traffic and are "splitting nodes" to try and catch up.

Excessive packet loss is impacting your performance Mediacom has nothing to say other than "we are working on it, no ETA". I'm about ready to order DSL but I figure they'll fix it by the time I can get it installed.
