Re: Near 56k speeds in Davis, CA
BTW, I called today to see if I could have someone tell me if/when the problem would be fixed. No answer to that but, I told them that I am not going to pay for the service and the put in a request for reimbursement. I recommend everyone in Davis that is having this problem do the same. Money talks.... |

I have Comcast in Davis and have noticed that I have been having trouble since apartment turn over ended. I have had two Comcast techs out, a line tech, and have spoken with an engineer. I guess south Davis is a little overloaded with all the apartment complexes that it has. I just talked to the engineer last night; Comcast gave me a pager number to dial when my pings get over 100ms, and he had talked to one of the "network" guys as he called it. The network guy told the engineer not to bother coming out to my apartment because they are aware of the issues that we have been having. From my research on the Comcast network in Davis I have found out that last October they split the nodes up. Previously they only had one, they split that to three and I am assuming that they will be splitting them up again. I asked the engineer if he had an ETA on the fix, and he didn’t have the slightest clue. But he said he would give me a call when he found out more information. |

Well I removed the only splitter the modem was connected to and I got these results. The numbers are now more respectable. However, the results on the speedtests prove to be no different! The upload is always consistent and reaches the maximum advertised thoroughput. I also have to add that my downstream reaches near 2 mbit if I use a download manager to multi-thread my downloads. Single threaded tasks like web surfing only exhibit normal speeds

Your download speed : 90190 bps, or 88 kbps.
A 11 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 317704 bps, or 310 kbps.
Comcast has given me the runaround many times...missed appointment dates and a million transfers on the phone... a truck roll is the last thing I want to do! |
