Cable Speed (Suddenlink)


Elemental Xero

Recommended Posts

So, my internet is very shitty, and right now I am going through Bankruptcy and cannot be binded to a contract at the moment to switch my provider so I am stuck with Suddenlink, 1 Meg Up. Enough for me to play my online game and surf the net for now.

I decided to track my progress of my internet connection and got this;

Do you know how, or what could be the problem here, besides bandwidth being ate up, which cannot be on my end because I have no uploads at all on my PC, and my sisters PC I have hidden a Upload / Download limit program on her computer to fix that problem.

Is it my fault, or their fault?

1:43 AM

1050 Kbps or 1.1 Mbps (128 kB/s)

2:21 AM

Download :: 1093 Kbps or 1.09 Mbps (133 kB/s)

2:31 AM

239 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps (29 kB/s)

2:39 AM

226 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps (28 kB/s)

2:42 AM

247 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps (30 kB/s)

At this point I go to sleep

I come home from school and immediately run tests

3:15 PM

44 Kbps or 0.04 Mbps (5 kB/s)

3:42 PM

46 Kbps or 0.04 Mbps (5 kB/s)

4:35 PM

47 Kbps or 0.05 Mbps (6 kB/s)

5:37 PM

83 Kbps or 0.08 Mbps (10 kB/s)

Its their service, the longer you download the more they throttle it back. They give you fast speeds at first but then nail you a lil later. I quit their service it got so bad, I was with Cox for 4 years before that and it was great, suddenlink took over and it went instantly to shitsville, population me.  Not much you are gonna be able to do but bend over and take it till you can switch. Try calling them daily and complaining, they may cut you off then and you would be screwed.

I use to call them daily, and it wouldn't help.

I would get directed to Texas where their main office is and go through the same shit;

Unplug modem for 30 seconds for recycle, restart PC, Plug up My modem, plug up my routers, and it would seem fixed until about 30-45 minutes later.

Suddenlink is horrible, and I'm not reccomending them to anyone.
