    My repoint to ES17 is done.  Promising for sure.

     

    As speeds can always go up and down on a whim, I will ride this for a week ro two before I say it is fixed for sure but apepars we should be good to go.

     

    Before the installer came over I had a about 1Mbps down.... and after, they are 24 and 17Mbps so far.

     

    What appears to have suffered in the switch back to ES17 is uploads so far.  I was getting better 2Mbps before the installer came over and now getting between 800K and 1Mbps.  I can live with that.  ;-)  

     

    So... so far so good.  Thanks Hughes for getting things back on track.

Speed is dead again.  Only 5:30 pst and down to 500k down and 175k up now.  By 7PM the system will be unusable.   Not having internet after 6PM is not fun.  I get no work done and it all piles up next day.  ;-(

Deleting posts, really? <sigh>

 

Anyhoo on to the business at hand...

I decided to post my speed test result (still at full speed not FAP) as it's pretty obvious it's following a pattern of plummeting from noon to midnight. Totally unacceptable speeds. Either there's a problem or some serious false advertising is going on. Here's the results so far...

I'll make my own thread once the week is over which will have lots of data. Thank you.
