hey coon ass you need to try the steps i outlined if your download does not change call in and get the repush at tier2

then if no change call in have tier 2 trouble shoot the download since 70KB is the min on their network that they shoot for and you are under that call at the time when the problem is at its worst also


try all your machines directly into the modem

and try the default windows patch then a new speed patch reboot after installing each

if you do all that and support cant get the speeds up then try to get a tech out and if his laptop is under 70KB then @Home got a problem

if his laptop kicksass then YOU got a problem and it is time to bust out the windows disk :rotfl: :p :eek: :sleep: :rotfl: :p :2cool: :sleep:

Ok here are some really good results at day time i get 10ms average on my gateway at night time i get around 182 to 230 ms.
It sounds like more people are getting on and they need to upgrade there hardward to handle the night.

hey coon ass if you really reformat and reinstall all the time and have the same problems

you need to try the tweeks for the download if they do not get you above the 70KB you need a tech out

as for the pings if they go up higher at busy times then you need to call in and have a ticket escalated to the noc

the download they should be able to fix

the high ping will take longer to fix

if the tech cannot get his laptop above 70KB or your machine then you need to ask for credit till it is resolved

as for the pings there are no guarantees there, but from what you say it sounds like the gateway is geting crowed at peak times and this could get worse before it gets better

later coon ass :p :D :cool: :eek: :2cool: :sleep: :rotfl: :p
