What package you have and what speed torrent dl at?

Compared 30mb flow and 10mb blink using a heavily seeded torrent, flow maxed out at around 510KB/s after about 5 mins, blink maxed out at 1.2MB/s under a minute. This was with encryption enabled and during peak time in evening. With flow got around 3.2MB/s on sites like vimeo.

i have 20mb but torrents only getting 1.5kbps to 20kbps other downloads working fine like ytube

Past 3 days the service keeps dropping although the modem status lights show no change

Most annoying......

[Kronik]

I am getting terrible speeds today, sometimes it picks up and works good, but terrible for 75% of the day, made me switch to data on my phone instead

Having alot of problems over the last 2 weeks.
Mostly, my internet sticks on RESOLVING HOST.
Up to a few days ago , only one device would connect to the Arris wireless router, I renabled NAT and now most are getting on.

But the resolving host thing is irritating, I tired changing "channels" , but not seeing any big difference.
thoughts?

Fellas with internet problem try this if flow takin long to come fix it

Go to the flow box that they put outside ur house the grey one...open it with a flat blade screw driver (might take some time) after than disconnect the black wire (the source) now power off ur router then reconnect the black wire in the box n close it
After that is done turn back on ur router after 5 mins n everything should be working

This should work if not then flow need to replace the spilter in the grey box because it gone bad!:|



Let me if this helps

[Soul Collector]

Its acting up more now for me too. Its really annoying. Along with the drops in connection, my ping in game has significantly gone up, and getting very weird/stupid lag spikes for no reason.

minds doh have a battery...what model is that?

[Morpheus]

The very first one we ever got. Lemme check.....

EDIT: ARRIS TM502G

That was the first ever model I think. Later on they had the newer model without battery.

[crazychinee]

this POS internet keeps giving trouble.
Sticks on resolving host for most websites, almost a week now! anyone have any ideas? Very inconsistant!
can't even use facetime or anything on my wireless devices, or download something in peace.

I have the arris wireless modem.

[ninjabilly]

How long has it been acting up. What you could do is try a modem reset.

[Kronik]

Well yesterday I unplugged the modem, disconnected the flow cable, wait a 10 seconds, connect back the cable, and plug back in power cord.

Working plenty better since that
