Re: Suddenlink Help
Dude I am sorry but throttle you if you download too much during a month ????? WTF how can u be OK with that... what is too much .... some arbitrary limit they define ...I've never seen that &^%$ advertised. Plus I doubt that is the case prove it!!!!!!!!!!!! I will say this though... lol since I posted in this forum.. My dl speeds are better. So big ups to dslreports.com!!!! My upload speeds still suck tho.. sub 200 kbs atm.. with 8m dl rate.. Btw I know what a tracert is and I could care less about rapidshare cause its worthless.....and not a p2p service. Lol don't insult my intellect. I'm not getting packet loss. All I care about is bit torrent and P2P which rapidshare isn't. It's not a routing issue you idiot. So... um no your post didn't help.
I will say DL speeds with suddenlink atm are ok... nuff said. |

| K1RA, at first I thought SL was throttling me based upon some cap, and Pete Abel confirmed as much. I was told by several SL people "off-the-record" that "excessive users" are "throttled" in order to be fair to other users in the area. Pete has gone on the record with the statement in a response to *my* SL review, which you should read if you haven't already.
However, over the last 6 weeks that I had the service the throttling never let up. I would get 256k the majority of the time and only burst to 1Mb speeds for 2-3mins at a time (all highly detailed here, just search for posts I've made). At the time I was paying for 1Mb service.
Since moving to CenturyTel DSL Pure (@10Mbx768) I've had wonderful service. If SinTel throttles excessive users, I can promise their caps are *much* higher than SL's.
At one point Pete said that my usage was "around 45GB downloaded monthly", which SL deemed "excessive". Since being with SinTel I am now able to rent, download, and enjoy HD movies from the XBLive Video Store and various other services. As I type, here's what my router's monthly traffic stats are for my WAN port for July....
July 2008 (Incoming: 73054 MB / Outgoing: 39610 MB)
Ha! And the month's not even over! Suck it SuddenLink!

| Sounds pretty nice man about the new service unfortunately I don't have that option. I went ahead and got a new modem with cable telephone capability but my upload rates are still sub par. I actually made pretty good friends with the 2 installers that came by my house. I was like hey check out my upload rates. .and they were all like hmmmmmm that is weird.. but there is nothing we can do about it :P  We went to some different test sites they recommended other than this one and even on those im sub 384k..usually sub 256k.pathetic.. but however my DL rates are still good. So big ups for that suddenlink haha. It just means bit torrent and stuff like that is TEH SUCK for me.. seeing as how alot of people really like bit torrent I would strongly advise people against using suddenlink unless you have to like me.. IMO suddenlink would do well to be honest..people respect it. uncap people.. or put in writing. At least you would know that what you pay for you get rather than a hidden cap if you DL to much.
Hell I would pay more if I could get a faster upload rate! un---cap me! Note..I have new modem still slow ul rate. Trust me if my UL rates get better to the point that I get what is advertised.. I will post here about it. |
