lol! I contacted verizon today, regarding my slow internet during 6-10pm The guy sounded like a professional at first, and i told him exactly what i did. I told him i cleaned out my recycle bin, and whatever else the site told me i had to. Then i told him that sometimes when i tracert a site, it times out. He said "Thanks nice" and continued on asking if my modem was connected to a phone jack... i said yes it is. He asked me what type of phone wire i was using, i said a phone wire which is less than 14 feet long. He then said i should use the one that came with my modem. I said "yea ill do that later" and closed the damn chat. And before this happened, i asked another support member why i was getting slow speeds from 6-10pm and she replied "Sorry, i cannot tell you why this is happening to you, do you have any questions?" and i said "How far am i from a CO?" and she replied "Well, my database says you are 10,000 feet from the CO, but this is unaccurate because its in the database (lol?) i just closed the char

Around 6-10Pm my speed is all over the place. I mean, all over... Sometimes 3.1Mbps, sometimes 600kbps. Is anyone else experiancing these problems? My guess is packet loss. Upload is fine though. This is my tracert to testmy.net, anything wrong in there? It seems like a pretty long route though lol Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] © Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

I would guess they do since it is owned by TWC? Am i right?

Since you live in NY, there was another topic here saying all RR customers in ny will get 5mbps

Yea.. sure.. whatever

And who is making who cry?

These forums arent dedicated to "kindergardners" but to people who share a common interest in internet speed. You may not be bothered by it, but many are. Like i said in my previous post, I dont like to come back and see 10 replies, with 1 being usefull to me. I mean, if it was atleast funny, but its not. Its just plain sad.

And guys,, if you did graduate kindergarden, please stop this B.S. I personally dont like it when i come back to my thread.. i see 10 replies, and 9 of those are non topic related/flame. Like Van said, and like i said numerous times before, go take it somewhere else such as PM's or instant messaging. I think more moderators are needed, ones who take things into their own hands and delete stupid posts. So please stop.

Thanks for the response Microwave. I have some upload speed slow downs, but i cant unhook anymore phones lol

That was pretty funny. "I want to shop till i bop" lol .s1, will you give me permission to post this on another forum? lol, with your name ofcourse

Ah cool, because I see Verizon vans on my block once a week and they always stand next to the same pole and there is usually a guy up there opening the box lol

i meant,, how does it look lol. Is it on a telephone pole, or an actuall building?

Its funny how when i used your test, and got 8Mbps download, it got saved, and im on top of my isp's top scores page lol

What is a DSL CO? Is it an acutall building or a box on a telephone pole? If its a box, ive got one sitting on my block.

The 3/768 plan came out like 2 weeks ago. Its only in New York, and some parts on New Jersey though.

Unplug your phone devices, and connect your modem directly to the telephone jack. Go back to testmy.net and test your inernet. If its where its supposed to be, its a phone screwing everything up. Then plug each device in one by one, and reboot your modem every time you do it and see if your speed drops. Then just eliminate the device thats causing the problem, or buy a new phone. If its not that, then maybe your phone line is too long. Im talking about the one from your modem to the phone. Its supposed to be under 14 feet.

Since Verizon is a way better value here in NY than TWC, they have to be some sort of competition. I mean 3/384 with twc for like $44.95, am i right? With verizon you get 3/768 for $29.99. I guess that many people were switching from TWC to OOL or Verizon. I mean It would totally suck if i had slower speeds, while my next door neighbor was able to get twice as fast for the same price, but i wouldnt be able to do anything about it.

Aww... That sucks doesnt it? And you know what else sucks, i pay $29.99 for it...

I really hate you too... . j/k lol If your download is better, then why hate me? Its not going higher anytime soon. I mean my phone line can barely handle my service lol. And besides, dsl doesnt go that much faster.

With dsl, is it true that the more phone devices i have, the slower the service will be? Yesterday i unplugged everything, dsl was fine. I had to plug back in the phones, lol, but my service cant get passes 2.3-2.4mbps on download and 640k on upload. Is there anything i can do?
