Re: [Internet] Bad connection at night suddenly

If it was a line problem at all, it would show up immediately in the first hop since it would affect all IP traffic. Physical line errors are at a lower level and that's when you'd see things like loss of sync etc. The only problem these people are seeing are higher latency at the core routers.

Re: [Internet] Bad connection at night suddenly

Perhaps i'm obsessed with noise but here's a fresh annecdote
which happened to me this week. My GNet BB0060B supports
a Twin PPP setup to help me with my trouble-shooting: a Bell
test@test PPP session serves as a reference. All the sudden,
my primary PPP session to the real ISP started to fail. Usually
i have RF Choking installed but i had taken it off for a test so
i thought i was better put it back. Well, i did just that and my
connection got fixed; the test@test PPP session returned at
once and so did the main connection. I removed my RF Choke
to see what was going to happen and sure enough i lost the
connection again while the test@test PPP session returned to
its normal state in no time... I don't know how to explain this
type of strange behaviour but i wish i had detailed records.

Did you say you want a credit? You should.

From what I read they aren't fixing this till near the end of the month.

Re: [Internet] Bad connection at night suddenly

bicephale ... this isn't about losing connections. This is about high pings on bell's "core" routers ... the one after the BAS.

not his home router btw!

I've been having the same exact problem but im from Quebec
I've turned every program off, turned on firewalls, scanned for viruses, and still getting random lag spikes while playing Counter Strike 1.6 and this is very frustrating..

Do a ping test, see if it's from the same bas.

Re: [Internet] Bad connection at night suddenly

I'm having the same problem as well as is my friend in the same area (Mississauga). All day it would run great but around 8 or 8:30, everything will just slow down: speeds are drop and ping increases a lot. Posted in the Direct Forum and was told that it was the server in Cooksville that is having problems. Unfortunately, it is unknown when it will be fixed.

Re: [Internet] Bad connection at night suddenly

I've had this problem for 7 weeks now and still waiting on them to fix it..... so close to leaving the company no idea why they are taking so long to fix ,is it cause the cost is too much and not enough people have the problem or haven't complained yet? It's starting to get ridiculous. Problem in Brampton, Ontario
