Flow Internet Thread

[Cross Blood]

Flow like it cut off for a while in the many parts of the country (reading the comments on fb) for about an hour since 7pm. It come back after about 1 hour. The modem was showing no problem, all lights on and showing US, DS and Online status, phone line working. So I say is my router.....

I think something went out regarding their DNS on their system because suddenly my router gone down and Windows saying it cannot find a DNS. Even though I set a separate DNS on the router. Even though it was saying connected to internet. I thought my hardware get attacked and bricked or something yes.

Im having the same issue. Pages taking long to load. Message taking a while to send.

Yes I though it was my router as well so I rebooted. Then things was moving slow. So I rebooted everything. Now it seems ok. But flow FB page has an advisory about internet but no area was stated. I'm in PoS .
Anyone getting internet issues now?

Twice this month they somehow changed the name of my 5 mhz band to the same as the 2.4 mhz. Very annoying. it made me research how to log into the unit and rename it back, so that they were distinguishable. And then I changed the dns to something I found in this chat from a couple years ago. Seems to have stabilized my connection.

Same thing happened to me. I called them to ask why and they gave me some BS excuse.

It looks like the flow modem rebooted every few days in the night. I disable the flow wi fi and it comes back on all by itself

[maj. tom]

You have to call them to get it disabled. If the CSR say it can't they lie because that's exactly how I got mine disabled. A very rare phone tech who knew what was going on rather than reading from a script. Even the technician who visited my house to do a repair was surprised at how he couldn't just disable it from the settings GUI because it just came back after a reboot. It's a separate deep system setting that you cannot access. And it had some new AM and PM thing.... couldn't handle the interference and called them, he disabled it, never came back after a reboot.

Is anyone getting slower than normal download speeds from US servers on flow? I have a 400Mb package with flow and usually, from the same websites/services I am able to max out at about 50-60MB/s very easily. Over the last week, I've only been able to get a max of 10-20MB/s through wired and wireless connections.

When I contacted flow via their WhatsApp service multiple times, they ask for the speed test to be done via speedtest(dot)net instead of their openspeedtest platform on their website which shows around 430Mb through local servers vs around 20Mb via Openspeedtest or with speedtest(dot)net using an American server. Unsure what to do next as they are sure I'm getting the correct speeds because of the speedtest results despite my actual download speeds from websites dropping off by more than half. European servers seem to be doing better for me.

Can anyone else confirm their speeds recently to US servers?

Flow MC. Getting several multi hour outages over the past couple weeks. 6-9+ sometimes

I used to experience daily drops with Flow of up to 3hrs at a time and then one day in Nov 2023 they went down for an entire day and once they came back up the daily drops were gone.

I'm ok this evening

Nah it will be DOCSIS 3.1. The uplink speeds are like ~ 75 mbps. Unless you're in bago where they actually have FTTH.
