Blako Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 I belive that Im paying for 5 Mbps/384 Kbps roadrunner but having downloads closer to 3500Kbps and 33% packet loss is disturbing. I might be capped at 4Mb but If RoadRunner does not have a 4Mb service something strange is going on.

Does RR have a 4Mb cap? What do you think about loosing one third of packets on trace route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Did you have Adelphia before this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJVageli Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thats why From what I know...users who were on Adelphia's 4/384 and migrated over to RR are still seeing 4/384 instead of RR's equivalent tier of 5/384 or whatever is standard in that specific area. Also I have heard that they are working out the kinks of this massive takeover and once thats done...there will be a more uniform way of placing users with specific speeds, so in other words, you will be seeing RR speeds instead of Adelphia speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted March 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Ok ty DjVaGGo, I guess I sould be happy with reaching 99.3% of my capped line Whats up with my trace routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 They look ok And no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted March 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Only 2 out of every 3 packets makes it to the destination. Or am i miss reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 Only 2 out of every 3 packets makes it to the destination. Or am i miss reading? No you're right...it does look weird that the third one doesn't go but as long as each hop along the way responds, your ok Btw....when you do a trace route to another site..do you get the same thing...with 33% packet loss?

Blako Posted March 12, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 There is a slight difference but nearly nothing after restarting router and modem. Is it possable that msn.com for example does not want anyone doing a trace route to them for ... security reasons? There are definitly some good reasons to not alow traceroutes to "important" servers. Getting 3600 - 3980kbps on a connection capped at 4Mbps is fine by me. Now, if the cap was moved to 5Mbps I would reach the RR average of 4700kbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But about your speeds, depending on your area and the level of competition it could go even higher than 5Mbps at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJVageli Posted March 13, 2007 CID Share Posted March 13, 2007 Can you explain please? Well if you happen to live in a Verizon area...and they plan on rolling out FIOS....well lets just say you will be noticing faster speeds soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
