<3 Consistent as usual, and I'm on WiFi at the moment.

[liquidmetal]

test it on a a server that not in trinidad

[Stephon.]

Miami is like 19 / .80

[redmanjp]

turns out i really did need to reset the modem

smurf with all those power outages you still had to...
glad yuh orn

power outages wont cause the modem to reset because it works on battery when there's no power (i read in a manual for the modem the internet itself only works for 15mins then shuts off to save power for the landline service which might last a couple hrs)

[redmanjp]

nah since i get blink it never work properly they tell me is an electrical problem in my house

doh make much sense- the tech is a qualified electrician? more likely it might be your line or internal wiring

blink uses ADSL2+ which maxes out at 24mb/s -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_de ... _broadband

they can't do anything unless they decide to roll out fiber/fios- but wait -even that only goes up to 50mb/s

flow most likely using docsis v3 in order to offer the 50 & 100mb/s packages

[achillies]

^^^^ correct

[achillies]

And if u want to upgrade to the 50meg or 100meg packages u will have to change your current modem, as they are only DOCSIS 2.0 compatible, the 25 meg packages are pushing the modems to their limit

First I was like


Then I was like

[todd61]

Any body here from woodbrook have flow? if yes can you do a ping test at pingtest.net.

aight well i see this thread and figure i fed up of blink and i want a change, currently on blink 4mb, thinking of going with the flow 5mb, anybody in valsayn using flow? are you satisfied?

[zcarz]

ok so i changed to flow and internet browsing is better and much faster, but it seems like the connection is having a problem while connecting to limewire/ torrents (it connects but the speed is quite low), does flow have a firewall in place that i would need them to turn off?

[trinigamer]

^^ I find torrents have slowed quite a bit recently, wonder if Flow is throttling?

[christopherwilliams2]

oh gorm!!! no!! but why these people so! everyone knows that is what we need the bigger flow pipes for! SIGH...can anyone confirm this?

[zcarz]

i hope not

[jm3]

its probably being throttled although i got my first 3mb/s single torrent the other night i have a 20m+ connection its unlikely ill see anything faster than 3m though

[HCCA]

i hope not

Yup same slow dl speed wrt to torrents by me (south).

Only downloads from FTP sites net full speeds in excess of 600kBps, not very useful unless is hardware drivers or applications i downloading.

Speeds were actually better when it was just 2 MBps.

[zcarz]

on a 5mb connection i'm getting 150kb/s download speed (max) with torrents, the general speed is a bit slow too. was working very very fast yesterday.

[ruffneck_12]

I still cant understand why on a multi MB connection you get D/L speeds of less then a MB

[M_2NR]

See previous pages wrt to torrents and seeds. You can't use torrents to get an actual idea of the speed.

[zcarz]

I still cant understand why on a multi MB connection you get D/L speeds of less then a MB

that's because we're on a multi-megabit connection, 1 byte= 8 bits
so you would need a 8 megabit connection to give a download speed of 1 megabyte per second.

[Wolfie]

I have a 25 MB connection and getting the same rates on single connections as ruffneck mentioned.

These rates are there no matter the server. I've tested it with a 10M and 2 100M backbone servers.

I'm downgrading my package until Flow fixes this.

[Chiney]

ok
things went from good to bad within 1 week
fak..

my connection is real unstable and i not gettin anything more than 10-13

downloads is way different..not passing 1MEGABYTE per sec at all... while others who got the upgrade are.

and down time has been happening alot lately
