Tonight in Tujunga, I still have 1mb up, but my downloads are terrible. I can't get speed tests much over 5mbps. I attempted to download iTunes from Apple. RR: 180KB/sec. Remote desktop to a machine on U-verse: Same download at 2MB/sec. There's clearly a clog in the pipes somewhere.

I'm in the San Fernando Valley. I broadcast live streaming music. In the past week and a half, my broadcasting isn't working because the Nicecast broadcasting program is cutting in and out, and I can't seem to send enough consistent signal to stay connected to the shoutcast server. My whole LAN (of 4 Macs and a PC) has been experiencing very slow internet, both up and down, intermittently for that same amount of time.
As I check the broadband forums, I find many people complaining about
SoCal Roadrunner problems in the last week or so. So I call up 'tech
support' at TW (which I almost NEVER do - I can usually solve any
problem on my own or ith the help of a friend or 2) and this idiot has
me on the phone for an hour, at the end of which she says she cannot
transfer me to a higher support tier - because my download speed is
too fast! (at the particular time it was tested) - so she says that
the higher-ups have decided that the problem is - wait for it! - that
MY MAC HAS A VIRUS!!!!111!!
How stupid can these people be?
She kept trying to send me to online virus checks, and I kept telling
her THEY WERE ALL FOR PCs!!! And it's not just my one computer, but
all the computers in the house, Mac & PC.
So I'm interested in what other peoples experiences are with SoCal RR. |

My upload was also bumped to 1mbps. Nice for sending pictures, but I wish I knew what my download is supposed to be now. I keep telling myself that I should go get a newer modem just for the heck of it, but the upload speed is right up there where it should be, averaging 925 or better regardless of the test site.

Any one know what is going in Tujunga-Sunland area?
Pings are high and download is painfully slow. I know the evenings are usually bad, but now this is going on in the afternoon. What is the point of paying for Turbo when I cannot even get standard download.
Can anyone in the area post their speedtest results? Thanks.
In Tujunga, downloads are a bit slow (3-6mbps), but my upload has been bumped to 1mbps. Knowing them they're teasing us with it and will take it away next week.

I believe they are pissed at us, because they couldnt get away with charging us for bandwidth. So, they are punishing us by capping our speeds.
Before the decision to retract the bandwidth issue was made, I was receiving download speeds of up to 27mbps (usually 20 tho) since, ive been under 7500 every day, and as low under 1mb, which renders my internet as useless. |

Just got off the phone AGAIN with TW.
I refused to go thru with their horse puckey. Instead, I read them a bunch of the complaints from here, and said, "HOW IS IT MY MODEM IS DISRUPTING ALL OF SOCAL?"
I then told them they can troubleshoot THEIR servers, or quit capping our download speeds.
And yes, I do believe they are capping our speeds. We revolted against them capping our bandwidth, they revolted by capping our d/l speeds. Don't believe me? Then why was it our speeds were excellent while they were planning on capping our bandwidth, but, almost immediately after they backed down, our speeds drop again?
I hope someone has the time and the ability to do a class action suit, and a person who can not settle. Someone who can be the pit bull and hang on at all costs, until TW receives a judgment against them, stating what they are doing is illegal. (Settlements always include "We deny any wrong doing" clauses, which then allow them to keep doing what they did). |

"everything looks fine on our end"....i spend easily over an hour on the phone with them every single time...getting sick of this bs...a few times they sent tech support out to check things out but they can never find the problem...those guys are hopeless!!! i'll probably be switchin isp's!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Where do they get these tech's from.
I my phone went down, and so did my Internet. After ~5 minutes, service was 'back'.
When I called in to find out what the issue was, TWC 'tech' asked me to unplug my router, as they didn't "see" any issue with the line.
When I asked if they checked the evenlogs, she stated that the modem didn't reboot in many hours. I asked again did she check the event logs, as there are errors in it. She asked me to again unplug my Netgear. I responded that she needs to check on the issue at hand - my 'phone' service does not go through the Netgear, and she still hasn't answered the issue on the event logs

@ WEAZEL and cquick11
I hear ya loud and clear! If they would just tell us up front that there's a problem and they're working on it, I'd be happy.
I miss the days before TW took over Adelphia. If you called, there was an announcement up front about any outages or problem areas, and that if you were in one of the affected areas you didn't need to stay on the line because they were working on it.
None of this being on hold an eternity to get thru only to have a tech tell you everything's fine and the problem's on your end when it obviously isn't. |

Re: What the heck is going on in SoCal? - Part 2
I been having bad speeds and packet loss for the past couple days too. So, I called Tier Three support and got the usual BS. He said everything looked good, but then I explain to him that I get packet loss and my speeds are down. He told me it's probably my netgear router and to bypass it and connect directly to my computer (Still the same speeds and packet loss). I don't have a netgear router, it's my Ethernet card on my linux box, that I use as a router. Anyway, Linux rarely changes, I mean I am still running fedora core 1 on this, stable as hell. Whenever you call support, it's always my network, not theirs, but mine has rarely changed in all these years. I mean, I guess he exhausted his troubleshooting resources and blames my little network for these crap speeds. It's always something with Roadrunner, If they just say, a router is having trouble, we're working on it. I hang up and be a happy camper

Still spotty in 90042
After two chat sessions where they said nothing was wrong on their end, a phone call to Manila got someone to admit there's an outage in SoCal.
An observation from doing traceroutes... seems to always be hop #5 that's the problem. |

Re: What the heck is going on in SoCal? - Part 2
It really pisses me off that I call up and am told that are no ongoing issues or calls of complaints and then come here and see that there was obviously something going on in socal that was somewhat widespread. I was simply calling to see if there was a neighborhood or regional issue so I could start my own normal troubleshooting should the rep say that there was no issue. I did all my normal troubleshooting to no avail. So it's one of two things, or both: Incompetent people, or sh*tty ticketing systems at Time Warner. I've worked in IT for almost 10 years, and every ticketing system I've used has a feature to where if but a few calls are generated regarding the same issue, it throws up a flag and allows us to inform our customer that the issue had been reported by others and that we were investigating. all of this ducking and dodging that TW is starting to become infamous for is inexcusable. Really, this cant be that hard. I watch these forums all the time but never post, but it's just starting to get ridiculous, the level of service... (91303 zip here) |
