Good services does start with the ISP and the lines going to the modem. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. I also recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem.

I personally use Motorola SB 6 series modems. Whats the mfr and model of the ISP modem? If you have a router in line, whats the Mfr and model? I also see lower speeds sometimes during peak hours however not that bad.Īre you testing speeds directly to the ISP modem or via a external router? I might think some of that depends on peak hours that everyone is online and also how many and who all is on your line around your neighborhood. Tracert to opendns always takes only 7 hops, but the other day it was doing this where it took 13 hops at a much higher latency. Minimum = 24ms, Maximum = 51ms, Average = 28ms Packets: Sent = 581, Received = 512, Lost = 69 (11% loss),Īpproximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Traceroute to opendns during connectivity issues.

Surely even speedtest should be able to handle 0.5 Mbs Centurylink isn't any better and they seem to have even worse speed fluctuations.

Also they seem to be routing traffic through different parts of the cableone headend servers sometimes which increases latency by about 50ms and limits download speeds down to about 20 MB. The local node on my neighborhood appears to be overloaded, and the CMTS is running at near 100% capacity during peak hours. It seems like from some of the limited data that can collect from my computer there is a multitude of problems with the boise area network. let alone troubleshoot internet connectivity issues. I'm sure there are some decent tech support people at cable one, but the last 9 of 10 i dealt with didn't sound like they are even qualified to turn on a computer. I haven't even hit 200GB since i switched to 50 MB service. Then they told me that I shouldn't watch too much netflix in HD or try to conserve on bandwidth so I don't go over my 300gb limit.

Then I asked them if they could tell me the upload signal SnR and receive power level on their node and they told me that they don't know how to do that/can't do it/can't tell me etc etc.

Plus it takes forever to get through that automated techsupport system. They want me to just reset my modem, router, and computer, and then when I start talking about speed test results, SnR, signal power, they act like I'm talking in some alien language. Truthfully, do you want to know how fast your connection is within your providers network or do you want to know how fast it is to the locations where the websites you visit are being hosted? is not a best case scenario connection test and will test your Internet under real world conditions.Tech support is utterly useless. This can make your connection appear faster than it really is. Other speed tests, especially tests offered by your Internet provider try to eliminate routing factors. Test My Download Speed Test My Upload Speed They want you to think your connection is running perfectly. This test is unbiased, it tests and grades all providers on the same criteria.

When providers host their own speed tests they eliminate the variables that you're here to test. A third party opinion is necessary and the provider shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the process. We believe that it's a conflict of interest when Internet service providers operate their own speed tests.
