THIS , is why comcast sucks...

[ErikPaco]

ok during these times. lets get a glimps of your modem levels.. we see the latency but do your levels change during this time.. due to like a wet drop or loose fitting or weather change... if your boarderline lvls and at night when it drops a little with the temp it could push you over the limit creating some slower speeds.. just guessing here......... thinking of all possibilities..

...? ... no everything is the same night or day. It's during the hours where pple usually get online that my speds drop and i get high pings, maybe comcast needs to install something on the line or i forgot what the tech told me, but ever since comcast upgraded theuir servers here it's been like this...

My sig proves that comcast doesnt suck.

[AnionWeed]

Well...wee....are you in dallas area??... + if i'm on a busy node shouldn't comcast fix that prob?... and maybe add more servers in this area...?

Yeah the nodes are monitored for as far as utilization on the up and the down.. I found that out when I had some major conjestion and it was fixed very quickly.. I was impressed..

[AnionWeed]

Yeah our techs are a buncha lazy rednecks down here ...

[topsail]

Do you have a dedicated line for your modem?

Do you check your modem levels during these problematic times?

[AnionWeed]

RGR... called comcrap sevetral times when this happens and everytime they say it's a prob on their side... but thta they can schedule a truck to come to MY house..... does that make sense at all?... and btw i'm not the only one having these probs... i have 3 other firends who have the same prob while laying same games online, and they all live at least a mile from my house... so it can't be me laggin the whole dallas area ........

[ErikPaco]

Yeah get a tech out there to take a look from the modem.. The only way something is going to get done is to have a tech come out and take a look at it..

[AnionWeed]

Yeah but they won't find anything in the morn cuz the prob only happens around 7 pm on... no techs out that late :\

Tell them teh problem i had a comcast guy come out in the morning and i told him about a problem that happend late night and early mornings, he felt my signal needed to go up so he bumped it up a bit, keeping the day time signal in line and fixed it.

[AnionWeed]

InBoston . I don't know the cost as I have still have comast and I am in the process of switching to Verizon DSL(its not in my area). I could be saving at least $30 a month over the Comcast duo. And yes my Comcast HSI connection has been horrible for the last month, too.
