Speeds below 500 kbs. last night
Hi Liz or Amanda, I have a Gen 5 plan and since Sunday night has been extremely slow at night, going down to the 200 kbs. to 400 kbs. last night. http://testmy.net/quickstats/Tom%20Flanagan Duri...
Nice! Thank you for the update, Tom. I'm glad the modem replacement has brought you back up to normal performance. We're here if you need us, so drop by any time!
Hi Liz,
At 7:30 last night my speed was 16 mbps, after 8 pm I bounced around between 2.63 mbps and 1 mbps, not great but not as bad as the days before. Could the gateway that I am on just starting to become crowded?

Hi Tom,
Thank you for this update. I checked on your gateway, which is in Midland, TX, and it looks like it was raining there yesterday, which may have affected your service. I see for the rest of the month, the forecast in Midland is clear. If you continue to see slower than usual speeds moving forward, make sure they are documented in your testmy.net account so I can send those results up to engineering.
Hi Liz,
I will run several tests every night for the next few days so that you can check them. If they are unusually slow I will alert you the next day.
Thank you for your help,
Tom
Thanks Tom, have a good weekend!
Hi Liz,
Sorry about not getting back to sooner, but last Saturday my internet speeds became very erractic then I lost access completely. I called tech support but they could not help me. A tech came to my house yesterday and he found that my modem had died. He believes that the problems I have been experiencing for the last few weeks were caused by the modem. Since he replaced the modem my preformance has returned to what it was the first few weeks after I upgraded.
Thank you
Tom
