Sympatico Total Internet is SLOWER

Was talked into changing over to this by a non English speaking support worker. Could not fully understand what he was selling even though I got him to repeat it. In desperation, I agreed.
Now that I am supposedly on this 7 megs, I find it is really SLOWER!!

I do not download movie, trailers, or play games.

Please help!!
I do not have the time or the patience to try Sympatico Support services again!!

send an email to Don Brunette (donat.brunette@bell.ca). Explain the situation and ask him if he can get you some help.

keebee1, it would help us more if you actually explained the problem. What speeds are you getting now and what did you get before? Can you post your line stats? You might have just been set to the wrong profile. A problem easily solved.

This is simple you obviously went from fastpath to interleave when you switched from highs speed to sympatico total internet. If they put you on adsl2+ there's an extra 20 millisecond delay thus the term interleaved.

does this mean there is always at least 20ms to first hop under adsl2+?
even on the fastest (or no) interleave?

It ranges from 10-20 ms on ADSL2+

When I used to be far from the CO, my ping would be around 10ms, now that I am on the remote and on the higher profile my ping is around 20ms. Both on the fast path.

so, (and i imagine i will be told 20 is actually pretty good) to get a faster (7Mbps+) profile you have to take higher latency, which is basically the same old story (interleaved). i think i like my 10.

My new 2wire modem is FUBAR right now so I can't check till the new, new one arrives(dial up tonight). I was usually anywhere from 9 - 16ms on my first hop with 10Mb Optimax. Whether my profile was interleaved or fast is still up in the air. It reported as adsl2+ fast on my old 6520 and on the 2wire 2700, but I was told here in the forum that they are all interleave profiles.
Have to run.....only 10 hours of dial up per month.....lol.
Cheers
