Bytezboy - explain the above, then. RR Standard getting 20 Mbits down.

powerboost throws the number off. i've gotten numbers ranging from 15-30, but when i'm actually downloading large files, it's around 10. try downloading a large file from a very fast server - you'll see that initially, your download speed might be around 20, but it then drops to around 10 and stays there.

Nope, my download speeds are up to 30 then drop and stay at 20. I've tried about 3 different speed tests and they all are the same.

If you have extreme then yes 20 mbps :-p

download a big file like that is 1 gb or less
you wont be downloading 20 mbps steady ;]

and you get this same behavior when actually downloading a large file from a fast server? then you're lucky, because you're getting extreme speeds while paying for standard.

I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 at a constant 2mbps. Where can I find a steady server to test?

You can try this server. I've been able to get past 3MB/s sustained on this server on the West coast from a FiOS connection on the east coast.

»208.97.138.21/stest/

Just simply Save that 2GB file and download it. See what kinds of speeds you get.

Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

For me it went up to 5MB/sec for couple seconds then drops down to 1.9 (which 15 mbps)

about right

2 GB in 15 minutes

Speed varies, but most of the time it's right around 1.5 mbps.

Smith6612 @ 31st Oct 09:41PM:
Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

Might vary. The server is on the West Coast so it's factoring in a bunch of cabling and the receive window. The speeds I've been able to pull on FiOS connections with the higher package have been on older Pentium 4 1.8GHz boxes running XP which go 100% CPU Usage when downloading that fast. Those boxes have a huge receive window and will pull down full speed from that server.

somebody posted this on another thread:

»ftp://ftp1.optonline.net

download one of the large test files and see what your d/l speed levels out at. it's a fast server - i maxed out my rr connection at home (10mb/s), and hit over 80mb/s at work.

MacAlert @ 2nd Nov 10:54PM:
Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

Right around 1.5 MB/sec.

Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

1.80 max (right now) but on my bandwith monitor software it says it's actually using 15.5 Mbps , and when I download from sites like rapidshare I get 1.90 and via ftp only 1.70 - 1.80 max lOL

2.2 MB/s, turbo plan, 5:48 pm, 11/07

splendid speed in terms of the time i testes: the 5:48 pm, when usually i'm near dead in this crowded node.

Maybe what i saw outside this afternoon, that a bunch of TWC trucks and workers hanging around doing some establishment to the wire along the block, is actually doing some good.

Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

Turbo

15 meg down
768 kbps up

I never hit 40 mbps on the end. It used to be always for couple sec no on a speedtest =D

Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

I as upset the other day, sunday I believe.

I was in new jersey, right on the water facing manhattan at my friends place, and all night I could not download any faster then 150KB/sec.

I mean this is pathetic. that and 100ms pings on the RR network a few hops away.

That was insane. I dont get why RR doesn't increase their backbone bandwidth and use more redundency. Cheap company, they will never change.

Hey guys,

I'm in Palisades Park NJ and I tried getting the modem after reading this post.

Got the modem to work, but my channel frequency is 687mhz and I don't see any channel bonding going on.

Does that mean my node has only one downstream channel?

Yes I dont think docsis 3.0 from RR is comin to NJ

but do a speed test see if your ping is better and speeds

Hi all,

I had bought the Motorola DOCSIS3.0 Modem a couple weeks ago, only to be disappointed to discover there is only a single channel coming in in my area. (Palisades park, NJ) I put off returning the modem because I got lazy and all, but alas came good news.

There was a major outage of internet two days ago and after that, the backbone in our region seems to have been upgraded to wideband. The internet is going on and off right now (probably because they are working on it) but I am getting four downstream channels bonded.

The speed and the latency are fantastic compared to what I've been getting for months. I couldn't figure out how to place the image in this text, but the top image is the result at 2:30AM now.

Anyway, just wanted to inform the fellow Jersey Boys that finally we don't have to suffer from terrible RR. :)

And I'd like to thank everyone for sharing this method.

patt2k @ 12th Nov 10:57AM:
Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

This is nice.

So does it Mean NJ and NY are only getting wideband? :)

Yesterday for couple minutes on each speed test I would hit 40 mbps(and again I am only on turbo)

The speed test below with 6 ping means everything is Ok.

Re: [TWC] NYC - Slow Speeds, Part 2

IP change. Someone on my nod has extreme, My assumption.

last night's peak hour speeds.

2pm;

I was going through all my results, this isn't my speed test but it's someones that i found on the speedtest record from july.

So dissapointed. I don't know what TWC is doing with my nod but they keep switching it around every month, And it gets slower and slower. I would get 5mbps durng peak and now I can't even hit 2mbps. Sigh.
Im waiting till blackfriday to get the docsis 3 modem, yes im cheap :(
