[TWC] Anyone in Rochester, NY having latency issues?

»/linequality/nil/2404310

line quality test shows just high latency but little/no packet loss?

Any ideas what could be causing this? It's fine during the day but once 6pm EST hits it gets terrible until about 1am EST. No router - it's directly connected modem to pc.

Seems to have been happening since about Wednesday. I have guy coming out to take a look at it tomorrow but between 12-4pm, so i don't think it will do any good.

Can't raid tonight (WoW) with 600ms+

From Binghamton I'm not seeing any latency issues, though videos streamed from youtube and similar services have taken a DRASTIC hit in the last 3 days for me.

Not sure if this will help for your comparisons, but here it is anyway.

Having major latency in Rochester as well, although it seems like the albany hop is what is killing my connection. Already got a ticket open with T3 support, but they close at 8pm so i gotta call tomorrow

Yeah, lots of latency issues, at the same router you guys are seeing problems at - 24.93.3.119

And of course, dunderhead TW tech support. After putting up with this peak usage time problem for the last week, I finally sent this message yesterday to ....

In the past week or two, internet access has been very slow in
evenings. I assumed it would clear up, but it hasn't. Below is a copy
of a Tracert I ran to Yahoo.com. As you can see, latency is VERY high
at the third hop - it jumps to 300 Ms while still within the local RR
network. If your techs could look into this, it would be appreciated.

Now, how could someone with even the slightest knowledge of the internet think this problem is in any way "local" to my machine? The logjam is CLEARLY at this ip - 24.93.3.119

Answer - Time Warner's robotic tech support - They sent me the standard "clear your browser's cache" response. Jeebus - don't they know that Tracert is a DOS function - it's totally independent of Firefox, or IE, or any browser?!

So I sent them ANOTHER e-mail tonight - rather than fight city hall, I told them "their suggestions didn't solve the problem" and another Tracert. The problem is still the same tonight

These steps did not help the problem. Here is a tracert I ran tonight at 9:41 PM Eastern time, to Yahoo.com. As you can see, the problem begins at IP 24.93.3.119, 3 srp7-0.rochnymth-rtr03.nyroc.rr.com. This evidently is one of the Rochester Road Runner network's servers. It's definitely NOT at my house, or at the first local node, as the first two hops, from my modem to the first node, only have a combined latency of 10 ms.
Again, this problem only has been occurring during peak usage times. The network and my connection speed is fine during the daytime. It appears to be demand-related.

Thanks for your help.

@rr.com

haha, I e-mailed RR's alleged tech support a second tracert last night. Their response?

"Dear Jim,

Thank you for contacting Time Warner Cable Road Runner E-mail Support.

As per your response, I understand that you are experiencing slow
connectivity issue from last 2 weeks and the tracert result shows that
it has more than 300ms in Road Runner network.

Jim, I would suggest that reset the modem and then check if you have any
issue with the connection and perform the tracert again and if you still
have the issue. In this regard, you will need to contact our concerned
department, since they are specifically trained to resolve such issues.
I will provide you the contacts details.

RESET CABLE MODEM

To ensure the information the modem is providing to your computer is
accurate, its memory must be reset. If you have a router connected to
your cable modem, you must disconnect the router to verify it is not the
cause of or a contributor to the problem. After disconnecting the router
and unplugging its power the modem must be reset. Do this by unplugging
the modem's power cable from the wall socket for two minutes; when the
power is plugged back in and the "Cable" or "Online" light stops lashing
and remains on, turn on or restart the computer. This process
synchronizes the information between our network, the cable modem, and
your computer."

Yeah, resetting MY modem will do a lot of good when the problem is CLEARLY a node 30-40 miles from my home.

Why is TW's tech support so inept? You would think if multiple subscribers are complaining about the SAME problem, someone would be able to connect the dots.

And why is the national help desk unable to communicate effectively with local tech support? If the national help desk simply forwarded all the submitted tracerts to Level 3 support in Rochester, they could quickly identify and begin to resolve the issue.

Undoubtedly, if I call them, I'll have to go thru all that canned and totally ineffective horseshit of clearing the browser cache, resetting the modem, blah blah blah

I've seen these latency issues occur numerous times in the nearly 10 years I've had Roadrunner. Every time, the subscriber has to go through this silly dance with tech support to get the issue resolved.

Yeah every time this happens & I call.... It has something to do with my machine behind a router... Even though I sent them a tracert & it obviously shows it is one of the routers in their network.

I think it is funny the responses I receive when they ask me to connect my computer directly into the cable modem & I tell them I will not do so as it may compromise security.

Anyways It cleared up about 1:30 am.

The high latency is starting already - 4:11 PM.

1 * * 10 ms 10.108.64.1

TW's "tech support" is laughable. The issue is clearly NOT with the individual subscribers computers, and directly related to their own network.

This problem began a couple weeks ago - there was a service outage of everything - digital phone, digital cable, Roadrunner, for 2 or 3 hours during the day. Ever since then, this latency problem has started cropping up. It might have something to do with their repairs.

I will call them tonight, though, when it's worse. They've been informed by numerous Rochester area users of this problem and done squat. So it's time they got taken to task, and a formal complaint filed.

There used to be a Rochester.Roadrunner.Feedback news group - and one of the level 3 techs would read the page. But now of course TW has discontinued News Group service, so even that avenue is non-existent. Now we're forced to call people that read from scripts, and can't think outside the box.
