Re: Connection Delays - a strange problem (to me)

said by senser1080:

Yeah my speed went down too once they started their HD internet ad campaign and added a new firmware to my 3347.

Actually, my speed is better than ever, usually getting 1.2, now I'm at 1.5 as advertised, but my ping!

It was usually at around 70-90 for most websites, and games. Now it's at ~150. I may just be a conspiracy theorist, but I think they slowed down everyone's connection who's on 1.5 to a. phase us out b. phase us out by making us switch to their faster services, therefore giving them more money,.
I have been experiencing this too at 1.5 down...but in my area 1.5 is the highest I can get. I don't think they would ruthlessly slow down everyone's connection deliberately like that.

It's a shame, too because I can walk 100 feet across the street and they are eligible for 20 down.

I had a tech out here last week and from what he told me, there aren't any plans for major upgrades in my area (not across the street) in the foreseeable future, although I hope something happens in the next five years.

As far as your ping goes, you may want to look in to interleaving and see if Qwest will turn it off.
