internet speed?...

[Scourge]

I used to have suddenlink and it was shit. So I'll have to see it to believe it...

Here you go cheesedick.

[scared?]

No I mean see the performance...

[scared?]

Lol I just read about suddenlink. SL has a bandwidth cap that takes about 1 hour to pass at 1 gig speeds... ...

[Scourge]

They upped the cap when they upgraded to 100 Mb. They will up the cap again. Come on now, you can't be that stupid can you? Nevermind, forgot who I was talking to.

[scared?]

Upped the cap to what? ... Careful moron...

[Scourge]

Last I checked for my 80 Mb service, it's 350 gigs. And don't 'careful' me. I could be at your doorstep in 3 hours.

[scared?]

No dumbo... 550 gigs which takes about an hour or so to surpass with 1 gig downloads... Ur out of ur league chump...

[Scourge]

Even with my current speed I could max that out in a matter of hours. I don't plan on downloading half a TB. I think I'll be fine. I'll just be happy in the satisfaction that it's faster than yours.

I went looking for the topic as I was sure I used to have a better speed



Could it be the overcast weather

Someone changed a battery

That's quite a difference. If that speed drop happens regularly it sounds like your ISP has contention issues and doesn't have enough bandwidth to share around all customers, are you able to switch to a different provider?

I have never heard the term "contention issues". Perhaps I know it by a different term.

I am able to change ISP but silly me, I changed my email address when I retired (and changed ISP/address) so it is a pain to change but I am considering and only because of their Customer Service failures every time I deal with them

I discovered recently my old employer, the large Australian telecom/ISP gives a discount to (ex) staff so I will be going back. I just have to plan my exit.

For interest, another test early AM here.

Up and down like a yo-yo

Assuming your infrastructure is like here this explains it - http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/contention.htm

Protip: never use your ISP's email address, always use Gmail or hotmail or something so you can switch to a new ISP without the hassle of moving all your accounts over.

Yes, a lesson I learned too late for sure...


Early AM test again.

Will do.

I think Net-Speed isnt that big thing, its more about:
-Servers / Hosts Limiting you DLs
-Shitty Cabels
-Ad spamming
-Wlan is a nogo

[Whiskey 7]

Just for the record



I am battling my ISP re slow connection speeds,1/10 what they should be

[xer0s]

Damn, I'm jealous of that. I'll probably never see that speed until they perfect satellite internet...

[Whiskey 7]

Hey SoM, have you been told today or can I be the first?

[SoM]

actually no Whiskey 7

i'm running out of space with the stuff i DL

[Scourge]

Decided not to go with 1G. Got this instead. Faster than what I need at any rate.

Do cloud servers count?
