Deltamusic Posted January 29, 2007 CID Share Posted January 29, 2007 When posting you mchi speedtest it would be interesting to see the state. or region your testing from. There is no way to compare from the database. Wondered how many Mediacom users test here on testmy.net I am in MS and my scores have gone further south than I live!

tommie gorman Posted January 29, 2007 CID Share Posted January 29, 2007 What were your advertised speeds Deltamusic? Not being on your ISP it is hard to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 Did you change packages? Did you clean out your temp files? Maybe it finally got fixed by the comp monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltamusic Posted April 10, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well things are improving... and should even get better when they finish the new head-end down the road.Only fair to give tha guys a Big.. ...on their help! Been a long time coming. I would have never been able to prove my case to Mediacom had it not been for the database and host stats that no longer work for Mchsi on testmy-net! At least I made a copy before it messed up. Here are my latest speeds.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltamusic Posted August 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 12, 2007 WOW That is bad. Have you run a diag on your modem? I notice you have a good upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHawkeyesFan Posted August 12, 2007 CID Share Posted August 12, 2007 its not the modem its my cable signal. when the cable guy came thru a while back he tested the signal on the line and it was like -4 or somethin like that. they were able to get it up to like +5 for signal strength but its still really weak. i deal with it. its better then dial up.

Deltamusic Posted September 7, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 7, 2007 its not the modem its my cable signal. when the cable guy came thru a while back he tested the signal on the line and it was like -4 or somethin like that. they were able to get it up to like +5 for signal strength but its still really weak. i deal with it. its better then dial up. After speaking to a tech friend at my mchsi head-end I was informed that the company specs for power level is from -7 dBmV to +7 dBmV. He said he got best results anywhere from "0 to -5 dBmV" . A +5 and above may slow your speeds down. He had a couple of suggestions. 1. Run a diag on your modem while you are online and note your status... Depending on your modem it should show you info similar to what I have below. 2. If your signal is above +1dBmV try putting a 2way splitter just before the cable modem and check your speeds again. Forward Path: Signal Acquired at 111.000 MHz SNR: 35.9 dB Recieved Signal Strength -4.5 dBmV Bit Error Rate 0.001% Modulation 64 QAM Return Path: Connection Freq 31.5 MHz Power Level 48.8 dBmV Channel ID 5 Modulation QPSK I had a speed issue for quite some time and it turned out the node was overloaded and a lot of noise on the line. You may want to go to www.dslreports.com and check out the line quality test. There should be users from your area in the Mediacom forum found there. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHawkeyesFan Posted February 27, 2009 CID Share Posted February 27, 2009 i was getting around 300-400 Kbps download speeds at the very most and my upload speeds were about the same as they are now which was usually faster than my download. and keep in mind the advertised speeds are 8 mb/s the mediacom people had no explanation for it except that the cables single levels were low in my building and we needed to re wire the entire building. i live in an apartment building so doing that would be very difficult.
