fm1971 Posted May 10, 2006 CID Share Posted May 10, 2006 Quick question. I have SBC 3MB DSL and during the morning and mid-day I have no issues with downloads. Typically I can download at the 3MB mark.. .but in the evening hours my DSL comes to a major slowdown. Why is that? I thought DSL wasn't supposed to experience the same slow down as cable users do towards the evening hours. This is the typical score I get between 6pm and 10pm pst. :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 232 Kbps about 0.23 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 28 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/05/09 - 8:36pm Bottom Line:: 4X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 36.57 sec Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 105.671 seconds to complete Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3 Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 12.18 % of your hosts average (pacbell.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-M6Q12T8RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm1971 Posted May 11, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 No, I have not. I hate dealing with SBC, but I will make it a priority to do so. Thanks Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
