Journal dead sun's Journal: Ugh, my internet connection [updated] 2
Friday it decides to not work. Well, about 20 Kbits/s down speed when things are going well, still the normal 400 Kbits/s up. Really weird. Saturday things are working again. Sunday we're back to the slowness. Haven't recovered a second time. Time Warner people are scheduled to show up this weekend.
I'm sad by my lack of anything resembling broadband. Most of the time pages won't finish loading. I'm in a rare good chunk, where it seems more like dial up than network problems. Boo.
[UPDATE] Playing around with various speed tests found on DSL Reports. Most of them give me results that are the suck, and watching the current speeds on my router confirm this. Oddly, speed tests from Charter Cable pretty much anywhere show multi-megabit speeds like I'd expect. So bizarre.
[UPDATE 2]Blah, up and down, up and down this week. Spoke with Earthlink, they assure me it is my cable modem. Yeah, right it is. Guess I wait around for the fixit guy to be perplexed, probably when I have good speeds during his visit. This sucks.

Time Warner. I had a similar issue, and I found out that I had missed a "bring in your cable-modem for a replacement", mail. When it was replaced, poof, everything ran great again.
A little more recently, though, I had an Ethernet 10/100 switch die (it would work for about 5 minutes at high speed, and then, suddenly stop sending traffic). Anyway, gotta love ideas.

Man, I love ISPs. Last thing I heard from tech support was my modem was bad. Funny how it just became un-bad when left alone. I'll hope it stays that way. Otherwise, there's still a tech scheduled to come out on Saturday, so I guess I'll hold off on canceling that until Friday or so.
