Shoot. Only 500K in this morning. Must be some thing happening. Usually daytime speed is very nice. Again, ZIP 91007 area. Any one has similar problems?

Re: What the heck is going on in SoCal? - Part 2

Same here in El Monte 91732... lastnight was horrible. But I don't have any other options to switch. Even ATT only offers basic 786k, I think they're pack with subscribers too (would like to get their 6.0 Mbps service). Anybody know of another company in the area? Thanks

is anyone still having DNS-related problems? about 40% of the time websites time-out and it takes several minutes before the site loads. it's getting to be annoying.

speeds through torrents and websites are blazing fast though.

i'm in Arcadia 91006.

Like seriously. I've had around 6 tech guys come by already and none of them knows what the hell is going on.

Should I just send a complaint about false advertising?

I live in Panorama City, CA 91402

I was previously having the same problem with sites taking a long time to load. It seems like it finally cleared up Thursday evening. This was going on all week, I'm not using the RR DNS servers. I'm in 90066.

What will it take for TWC to admit their network in SoCal cannot handle the traffic in the evenings? I mean this is getting ridiculous. Any one know how the LA City lawsuit is going??

Lately, I am getting this message from the cable modem troubleshooting page


Ok, now I know I should not complain about the upload, but seriously I cannot achieve anything higher than 1746. My modem config upload is capped at 2048. When I had 10/1, the highest upload was 978, but that is much closer to the cap than 1746 is. I have also tweaked (DR TCP) my connection the day after the speed upgraded to 15/2. Is this high downstream level causing the upload to be off by 254 kb/s???

As far as connection to pop-server/smtp-server - it was actually Vista having a fit. My XP laptop and work gigE connection had no issues.

Internet is slower tonight. Downloading at 200 KB/sec when I used to go up to 600 KB/sec. Throttling or something?

During business hours, I can download fast like 698.81KB/s for »definitions.symantec.com/defs/20···-i32.exe.

During peak hours lately like at 9 PM PST, only up to 100 KB/sec.

What's going on?

Is RR throttling bandwidths now? I am in 91745.

Not immediately... I tested everything else first

smtp to other email worked
http to pop-server/smtp-server worked

Traceroute worked
Only site that appeared to be affected were those 2.
Until I had access to another source to test (laptop over same connection) I could only assume that it was an issue at RR's pop/smtp server.

No they aren't. I would just get a tech to your house and have them measure up your signal strenght. If you are getting that bad of speeds during business hours, something is wrong.

Could be just overloaded nodes, but if your house is receiving a lousy signal to begin with they should fix it.
