OT: Bad upload speed with cable service

by senojm2 » Fri, 31 Oct 2003 12:06:24

I have a 2mb Cable connection that just is awesome on downloads, but seems
now the upload is only like 75kb, which I'm sure is killing my only game
play with NR2003.

what is the cause of this?  should I call the cable company
charter?

Thanks,

Who is your provider?  I'm having problems with Comcast right now.  Since
last Sunday evening the pings have gotten really bad every night starting
around 6:00 pm EST...

What is the upload speed supposed to be? Most of the cable services I
know only have 128Kb upload.

I'd say most cable companies offer 256k upload.  I know mine does.

You might want to head over to:

http://www.dslreports.com

And check to see if anyone else with Charter in your area is reporting
a problem.  That's about the most user active community I've seen that
keeps track of this stuff.

My best guess is that it is on their end, not yours.  And while you
can try and call them, in all liklihood they won't tell you anything
helpful. More to the point, their level 1 techs are instructed *not*
to report outages and other equipment problems.

If you do decide to take the plunge and hit their support, ask to
speak to a level 2 tech person right away.

good luck, hth

The cause is your tight-wad Cable Company...

Part of this is necessary due to the DOCSIS 1/1.1 standard, but extremely
low rates are strictly limitations plugged into your modem profile by your
Cable Company.

If your Upstream is truly limited to 75K, then I'm not even sure that's
enough bandwidth for the ACK's required to support a 2MBIT/Downstream
connection.

I have 3.0Mbit Downstream/192k Upstream.

They do it to keep the kiddies from running servers.

I agree, most cable people say that their speeds are 1900k-2000k down and
256k up. I can pull the 2Mb down usually, but upstream varies between 128k
and 256k (according to dslreports anyway). Depends on the time and network
activity.
