[M_2NR]

word is a fiber got damaged and was supposedly repaired and I'm on google dns and it was still down.

[Stephon.]

Yeah I heard something similar and when I called they said they knew that there was a problem and it would be fixed soon. Things are back to normal on my end tho!

[brickman]

[fouljuice]

now 1 of my torrent downloading, all the others saying no seeders or leechers, and all of them saying: offline, timed out, or connection closed by peer, in the Trackers tab.

[Bareback]

Anyone has to reset their modem almost daily in order to reset the signal being sent? Happens home by me regularly and we have maybe 3 - 5 devices attached by wireless at any given time.

[xaira]

you sure the router is not your problem? alot of people blame the modem for the routers wrong doing, what i noticed is that the wireless signal could be strong, but the rouer itself could literally have a hard time routing, right now i use a wired router as the router and the wireless router i just use as an AP, because the wireless router couldnt share net if its life depended on it

[Bareback]

The modem and router is one unit supplied by them. Your point makes sense as no lights flicker when the signal isn't being picked up. Once reset, sometimes more than once, the signal is picked up by the attached devices.

Spoke to Flow and the boy say he sending a signal to make the signal more reliable, I guess if I see f'ing batman when I reach how I will know he wasn't $h1t1ng me around.

[xaira]

he sending a signal to make the signal more reliable...that is a load a bull, see if you can get a replacement, tell them you have a faulty 1, but i really prefer to have the modem separate

[stev]

many flow users had the problem where websites wud fail to load at random intervals....it looks like the net dropping all d time.

the solution is to use either Open or google DNS.

[S_2NR]

my router backs up all my dns as i use them and i still had problems accessing sites i previously went to.

x2 had problems with flow dns since I got thier service... bought myself a nice buffalo wireless router, input 3 different dns and rock stable since...have about 6 pcs connected.

hope flow sort this torrent blocking sheit


Edit
Torrent working on my end now

[Swisha]

is Flow acting up again? getting crappy speeds and ping

[xaira]

nah, things good since i wake up

[Swisha]

far from normal on my end

Turbo 15:

[S_2NR]

Hold down the reset on the modem for 10s.

[Swisha]

did that with no luck.

when i use Flow's server everything looks normal


once i use a US server, it's crap. Netflix and Hulu Plus can't even stream properly...

[GEAR_HEAD]

any updates on this? I am having similar problems as Swisha...

[tr1ad]

problems as well

[fouljuice]

working normal here. about 2pm all my torrents started back to work. before I was only being able to have 1 active.

When I am getting that slow speed problem, I always try connecting the modem directly to the computer to see if the problem is on Flow's end, or mine. 90% of the time is my router's fault. and a normal 'pressing the reset button' or 'unplug/re-plug' doesn't work. I always have to unplug all devices before resetting.

Having same problems with torrents

Tried downloading my first torrent since I switch to flow and was barely getting 20 kb/s download with a very healthy torrent (5700 seeds and 1500 peers)

Plugged in my blink modem that is still connected to see if the problem was on flow's side and download started to fly at 500 kb/s instantly.

Called flow and they said to plug in the LAN cable directly to my PC and re-install utorrent but I'm still getting pathetic speeds ~120 kb/s max

I regret switching to flow honestly

After doing a search I saw that they don't have any firewalls or anything like how blink sometimes has that prevents utorrents from connecting, so any ideas?

[stev]

my torrents start back working
