vern Posted July 31, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ever since school let out that has been normal for my connection. From about 4 am to 8 am ping times run about 50 to 100 ms. Then at about 8:30 am which is now it starts.

TelCo has done nothing to fix it. I call support, they open a ticket, I call back a week later, they say ticket was closed. Rinse, repeat Damn, even Starband satellite internet was better than this. I may well just go back to dial up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted July 31, 2008 CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 You know you said it right there, frickin torrents, shit that erks me, people not only trade stolen shit, but they are leaching bandwidth at the same time, from others. There was a guy that had uncapped his modem near me, and every night he would set his torrents up, no one on the node could barely brows the net, someone, took care of him, and then the ISP did.

dlewis23 Posted July 31, 2008 CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 if your on there DSL service bit torrent can't slow it down. You have a direct line to the local exchange. You may want to get off your ISP anyway since they are putting in 5GB monthly caps for all. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Frontier-Imposes-5-GB-Cap-For-DSL-96546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vern Posted July 31, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 Interesting. I have received no notice whatsoever about that. Why would I pay $50.00 per month for DSL when I won't even be able to download the new WoW expansion when it comes out in a few months without exceeding the bandwidth limit? I'm feeling pretty smart now for not signing a service contract with them 10 months ago to get a 10 dollar per month discount. I think I will be downgrading my account today to the 256 / 100 Kbps $19.95 per month plan. EDIT: I'm connected to a remote DSLAM unit located 16 miles from the CO. Bittorernt can and does slow it down for everybody because the span between the unit and the CO isn't fat enough to support all the users using at the same time.

I would be interested to see if they still do. Since the FCC now says broadband is 768kbps or faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vern Posted July 31, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 According to the FCC what I have can only be called broadband for 6 to 7 hours per day. And if you go with a 24 hour average it can't be called broadband at all. I post back what they say after I call them later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just got a call back from the PR people and the guy tells me they have been "upgrading" the main lines from the CO the the big CO and are having some problems with it and it should be fixed by tomorrow. And he ask me to wait until tomorrow to call the PSC if I would. I'll giver em one more day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted July 31, 2008 CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 jayzus, is this your only option for connection ? Oh heck no there is always satelite and dial up. :haha: Might try to get on EVDO also. Sprint, Verizon, or a few others now have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vern Posted August 1, 2008 Author CID Share Posted August 1, 2008 My only options here are this, satellite, or dial up. I had Starband and Wildblue. Won't go through that again. I mentioned to the phone guy I spoke with yesterday the new 5 gig bandwidth limit and he said he hadn't heard anything about that. Not surprising as they seem to be trying to keep it a secret for some reason. He told me, well Wildblue and other satellite providers use caps. I ask him if the DSLAM unit cost 500 million dollars like a satellite placed in geostationary orbit does since that is the only way to add bandwidth to a satellite connection. I find it extremely annoying whenever anyone tries to compare apples and lemons when attempting to make a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
