said by rudeboy24 :

DSL in this area sucks ..i can only get a 2Mbit connection ..probably the reason why cogeco doesn't give a crap about this area.

that sucks ... are you getting decent speeds from cogeco at any time of the day? Cuz 2M is still faster than the speedtest results you've posted ...

Have you gone ahead with your CCTS complaint? Cogeco is usually pretty responsive to complaints filed that way.

Re: [Niagara] Welland very very slow speeds

Have you yourself had a DSL connection recently (past year), and with who if you did? My son lives in the apt's behind Food Basics and has TSI. He does only get 2Mb, but I told him to expect that with being in an older apt building. IF you yourself haven't had DSL, don't rely on what others in your area get. Each residence can be unique, as well as the ISP. Not shilling for TSI, but they have no contracts. If you have access to a decent DSL modem, it would cost you $30 to "test drive" TSI 5Mb for a month. IF it sucks, you only lost $30. A *consistent* 2MB connection would be better than the crap you're getting.

I get decent speeds in the morning, but still nothing to brag about. Its funny on the east side, my internet was blazing fast. Its sad to say i moved to a nicer side of town to get a crappier service? Jeeze.

How do i file a CCTS complaint?

So update, it is 11:35AM and my speed test is showing 1mpbs! NO DOWNLOADS going either.

I have put in a complaint to the CCTS.

Re: [Niagara] Welland very very slow speeds

Is anyone around Fitch able to post their speedtest during the day? I just tried at 8AM this morning and only got 1MPBS... I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue around that time as well.

I am on standard service, should be getting higher then that.

I've noticed my Downstream Frequency went from 117MHz to 111MHz today and on top of this amazing speed test for 5:30pm on a Saturday:

I think Cogeco may have split up the nodes in Welland :)
