Torrents downloading normal 550kb/s upwards on a 5mb connection.

As a new customer you should get the new modem plus a free wireless router as well.

i already have a linksys router with dd-wrt (solid as a rock)

i guess ill hide it when they come so ill get the free one too.

can i continue to use my current router or is their router built in?
i want to use my current router and not no generic flow sheit.

The router they giving is one like this:

Works pretty well i find.

Is a separate unit from the Flow modem as well which about half the size of the old Arris one.

[S_2NR]

my router is a newer and better model so ill stick with mine.

I hear a lot of people saying how they love flow and I even went by my gf's house who has flow and it worked great. But both my cousin and I are having the same the same problems. The Internet just randomly drops. I will be surfing the web and jus so, it would shut off. The computer would say it has Internet but no web pages would load nor any vids on YouTube. I have blink and this does not happen with the same computer. It moves smooth with no hiccups. Unfortunately flow is the worst Internet I've ever used. I am going to upgrade my blink as I would rather pay more for good Internet than less for crap. anyone know of any solutions before I switch ?

[salvation4U]

Yes since yesterday it was moving slow i was like what the hell I not paying for this nonsense..


Look how slow it is

[tr1ad]

yea apparently they having problems since weekend, hopefully it fixes soon

[Ibis Electronics]

No dread. Is ever since I got it. From since like last year. Been moving really slow.

[salvation4U]

it depends wat you doing with the internet and where you ddl from....I can increase my net speed by hacking but can get jailed

[zando]

Are you guys using the wireless router that flow provides? if so, junk it and get the wired modem they offer and buy uh own wireless router from a third party...i.e.linksys, belkin, msi, this happened by my father and i realize it was not the connection but the shitty wireless router flow installs.

[Sinister_Audio]

yup.....the download is never consistent. the upload however is working perfectly for me.

and the download is very unreliable

and when u call and ask them, they ask u to do a speedtest, and it works and on their end they say:
"seems to be workings perfectly here so....hymc and udfr"

sigh....

Hmm... happens randomly... the speed shoots up.. way up to 730kB/s even and I'm on a 5mbit (I was downloading BF3 from Origin day before) then the night before that i was stuck at 231kB/s. Same thing happened with Amazon downloader as well.
Speedtests seem normal though.
