Re: [DSL] Upgraded to 25/7, experiencing congestion Yep. Though the sync was stable with the other modem, never disconnected. Just not syncing at full speed with it. |

Is the overall experience with 1.0.4.3EF-STINGER much better and/or consistently better at your location? |

Back to full speed. This is only a short 2-3 hour window where it tanks... The remote could be at capacity, and Bell FibeTV is given priority when people watch TV the most. |

kudos:17 | TSI has ordered a modem swap, but it's a lottery which modem I get. We'll see. I can send back whichever modem is worse. |

It's called under-engineering the network. |

| So far all I heard are crickets from Teksavvy's side. Any updates? |

| Well I got a modem swap, but I got the same shitty firmware 1.0.4.3EF-ISAM, and the upload sync sucks bigtime like before... |

| At least your u/l is better than mine.
Seriously, can you believe TSI hasn't said anything about all of this. No explanation. I still haven't heard from them in direct forum, no follow up on this thread. I have to commend you for pressing on.
TSI ended up in the same situation as cable. Over sold and waiting for upgrades. |

kudos:17 | I bet your upload would be fine if you would just get the proper modem with the proper firmware.
The difference is huge. |
|
| Well, how do I do that? If I get another one I could end up with one that re-boots. |

They said you can just send it back. I left the PPPoE login enabled in this one, hoping that it might auto-update to the rebooting firmware... just to see if the stats are any better with that one. |

| But, your results for u/l are not good, do we keep on sending them back till one works well? Actually, I could accept lower upload if I had solid download speeds.
Still doesn't solve the slow speed issue, unless you really think it is a firmware thing. |

kudos:17 | No, the proper firmware did not solve the download issue. There's still congestion, and Its probably just the remote is reached capacity.
But at least I want the proper friggin firmware for my modem so i can get the upload speed I pay for. |

Amazing how Bell sends a modem with the same firmware it's supposed to replace knowing that firmware doesn't work, Doh! |
