Mahorn Posted February 13, 2005 CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 I have Adelphia Cable advertised at 3 Mb/s down and 256 kb/s up. I used to average a steady 3.2 on the download test, but just recently I've noticed a strange phenomenon of what appears to be a "fast - slow - fast - slow", etc... during the test and can only get abound 2.1 and average about 1.8 Mb/s. This appears to be bursting, or something of that nature, and it happens on other test sites as well. Any suggestions?

VanBuren Posted February 13, 2005 CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 do you have a router? If so, by pass it and connect direct to modem check speed again and make a new linequality test VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahorn Posted February 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 Thanks VanBuren! I did also notice that while performing the Download Smartest, that the fast slow condition continued while not connected to my router.. Is there acceptable packet loss % to your address that Adelphia adhere's to, or should it be 0%? Will they try to tell me they can get away with certain percentage of loss?

VanBuren Posted February 13, 2005 CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 packetloss is not acceptable, aslong as you dont get what you pay for VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
