Roco Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey Roco should I just get an appointment... and have them come over? but I'm pretty sure it's the neighbours since when they're not home my speed is over 4 and it goes under 1 when they are. I would call them over but now I don't want to look like a jackass since my neighbours will surely shut down their uploads when they see the red rogers truck in my driveway. Oh yeah resultz at the bottom hey,aznhakkaboi, have you talked to your parents about this, about the possible cost etc, is there a cost for rogers to come out ? sorry i can't make that call for you , you have convinced me that it is your neihbour , but I am 3000+ miles away and have little experience of cable and no knowledge of Rogers , sorry to sound so negative , it is nearly 4 am in UK , and I am tired, If you can wait till tommorow , we can raise the profile of your problem/ question, regards Roco UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznhakkaboi Posted September 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 lol you have done enuff already... the cost of them coming out is not the problem. It's just that I don't want to look like a fool when they come, since the neighbors will shut off their uploads for sure, (meaning my connection will be back to 4.5Mbps). Lol don't worry abt this problem I've ignored it for the past 2 months, a day or 2 won't really matter to me xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 aznhakkaboi since you are on a wireless router, why don't you really mess him up and not use the router when he is home. Just go straight to the modem. See if he comes outside to see what is up, then you will know if he is wirelessly stealing. And you will also know if it still drops, it was not him afterall. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Very good point Tommie , ooops I mised the wireless bit , and wireless is not my scene either , I dont trust these new dang - fangled things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznhakkaboi Posted September 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 lol I already tried that it still lags... the best way to screw him up is to use my sis's notebook and get on his wireless router (he doesn't have password) and I change his settings... but they go back the next 2 hrs.. but yeah that's the only way, too bad I can't keep doing this since my sis is never home with her notebook (at university).

tommie gorman Posted September 14, 2006 CID Share Posted September 14, 2006 I guess the only question I have left is, how is it you know he is stealing from your bandwidth? Maybe just bad timing. Is it the same time of day everytime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznhakkaboi Posted September 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 14, 2006 yup same time everyday.... And yeah the bad thing about cable is that you have to share the net traffic with ppl in ur neighborhood. It's usually about 4 houses using the same "cablebox" located outside of our house, where every rogers customer can acess 1) I hear him pull up the driveway at around 4:45pm 2) I see my ping go up at 500-700 on 4:49pm 3) I get pissed off and shakes my fist towards his house 4) I come here to check for new msges I remember there was this one time where the net was not moving at all! and I had a paper due so I went over and told him to slow down his uploads, and the lag were gone. The next day it was back on to surferable 56k speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted September 14, 2006 CID Share Posted September 14, 2006 Call rogers and say if this doesnt stop your switching providers.. im supposing theres other isp's near you.. unless rogers controls it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted September 14, 2006 CID Share Posted September 14, 2006 I would wait outside just before he's about to pull up the driveway. I would have balloons full of milk. I would throw them as he steps out of his vehicle. I would laugh and run away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
