My speed test are all over the place. I feel there is a issue with beam 34. I am and at least one other person have posted about this issue. I want the speed I have documented back by my speed test back.

The Internet is very busy due to the RNC Convention and other news.  But just like a gall stone this too will pass.  I spent 3 hours streaming the Convention online last night and will most likely do the same this evening.  That will slow things down a bit due to traffic.

Hi Ricky,

Can you please confirm that these tests were run while directly connected to the modem?

When did you first notice your speeds slowing down?

Any system changes you're aware of just prior to the slow down?

Your feedback will be used for the report I'll escalate to our engineers.

Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Liz

Hi, Liz, Yes they were directly connected to the modem. I have been noticing a slowdown for weeks now. I thought it may work itself out. However when I saw the other person on my beam was having speed issues as well I decided to investigate further. I have not made any system changes.

I'm still betting it is the kiddies being out of school, especially since you say slowing down for weeks now. If your beam/gateway is near peak on loading then any increased activity is going to slow things down. So IMO, if on a beam with lots of families with kids then things will slow down during summer months and will see the large variations you're having depending what the little buggers are doing and when.

Speeds have increased from last night.  A little more than twelve hours ago I was getting download speeds of 824 Kbps, now at noon Wednesday I'm getting 10-16 Mbps.  Do you notice any difference?

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for the confirmation and the additional tests. I'll send these over to engineering to see if they notice anything on your gateway/beam since from what we can tell, your diagnostics look good.

Good morning Ricky,

The engineer informed me that there was work done this past weekend to improve performance, but a followup is scheduled around the 25th to help provide more consistency. Let's keep an eye on how your speeds are after the 25th.

Only thing I can say about the tests is that the tests show there's nothing wrong with our end because we can receive 5 digit downloads, on occasion.

Yep, that's the reason for the tests.  🙂

Speed increase I posted in another thread was short. Back in the basement.
