You should test again with a Miami server to get a true reflection.

8 bits in one byte....10 mega BIT package will download at 1.25 megaBYTES per second max.....alot of uninformed peeps keep calling flow saying they suppose to get 10MB/s as advertised...lol..not knowing flow in its nastiness used MB/S (mega bits per second ) as part of their marketing strategy......

[redmanjp]

mb not MB-

mb>megabit
MB>megabyte

if they used MB/s then that's false advertising

All ISP providers use megabits as its measurements... So does the IEEE standard.. Or else you would have been saying u have a 12.5mb/s ethernet port compared to a 100Mb/s port..

Allyuh call me when computer class is over please.....

So who was wrong?
I said "1.2MB/s download on a 10Mb/s"

hey guys

i have been having some problems with my flow internet package
I have the wireless ARRIS Modem with a 10mbps package
I am experiencing continuous drops in connectivity that only gets worst after 7pm sometimes it doesnt come back for hours.
Google chrome always gives the indication of "Resolving Host" and then "webpage cannot be displayed"
This happens using wireless and the LAN cable

Is the modem at fault or is it the coaxil cable line

USENET/NEWSGROUP Issues

Anyone here with flow using Usenet/Newsgroup servers and experiencing problems with connectivity recently?
From what I can see, since Saturday I have not been able to download through Usenet. Even though the service connects, nothing downloads.
I initially thought that the file/s may be out of the server's retention/dead, or that my server was doing maintenance however, I tried using my mobile internet connection and it worked fine .

This led me to believe there is some block or issue with Flow and Usenet, so I called their IT dept, and after about 25-30 mins of the usual power cycling, resetting etc. they said they would forward it to their superiors to take a look at and resolve by Morning.

Well, it still hasn't been resolved and i'm testing it atm on a Blink connection and it works.

Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

[zebratt]

Archvile,
I had the same problem. Not resolved by Flow of course.
Got my usenet going again by using SSL (NNTPS) on port 563.

Yay!

[sparkette]

Is it possible to change the password for the arris wireless modem?

[brickman]

Strange enough my net went off for about 15 minutes tonight just before 10,as it came back on my upload light which has always been orange is now green.From all that I've read simply put green is better so good on flow on that improvement in service.

[Archvile]

Yup @zebratt, also used SSL to get it working. At least they can't block THAT

I've noticed that my flow just goes down for a few minutes. Then comes back up. Neighbours as well. Always late at night. Not sure if they are working on something atm

[konartis]

Anyone have the new upgraded boxes from flow? Whats the feed back on it?

I've been experiencing the same, it also occurs during the day (I'm home these days). It seems sporadic but as fast as it goes out it returns. It makes streaming and gaming a bit problematic but other than that I've been getting good service, speeds are where they are supposed to be and fairly consistent.

[M_2NR]

updates probably...

[jm3]

Anyone else's flow down right now

[brickman]

Cable & internet went down from around 12:30 to 1:30 in p.o.s,they do alot of their maintenance around the after midnight hours when less people are on.Happens now & then.

it look like flow blocking torrents.
bittorrent not connecting at all. this is with encryption and directly connected to modem. any ideas?

just tried bittorrent connects with encryption and proxy but it holds any other connection in otherwords. If you are streaming a video the stream stops and bittorrent continues running but the video stream comes to a complete stop Youtube, Netflix,Twitch, etc.
When you kill BT the stream reconnects and it reconnects almost instanteously to the moment you kill BT. So they may actually be monitoring and blocking.

That is terrible news

[kg494EJ-1]

has anyone had success getting flow to activate their own modem(personal modem), I'm trying to keep their service but run my own equipment but thus far they have refused to allow to use my own equipment(modem).
