So, what did it take to fix my awful Internet connections??
Turns out the signal to my house is perfectly strong and acceptable...
It was the damned RCA Modem... I guess, like a tub of cottage cheese, they can go bad...
So, while the lights danced and it looked like it was perfectly fine... Once switched out for a new one... Viola!... It was the culprit!
Time Warner Cable guy that came here was awesome! Very knowledgeable, efficient, personable and fun. He helped with a few other complicated issues too... And even called a guy at headquarters to get answers to some of my more complicated questions...
My slow upload speeds?? Easily fixed... But only IF I upgrade to another package... (I wasn't even aware of tiered pricing. When I started it was a flat rate for home service and speeds were blazing...)
Also learned that Speedtest.Net is THE Speed Meter that everyone uses these days... With Speedtest, I'm pulling a 19.17 Download and 0.49 Upload... (Also, the Ping test shows an A for Line Quality, 12 ms ping, Jitter, 1ms, and a Packet Loss of 0%)
What are YOU pulling??
Please run Speedtest.Net yourself and put the results in the comments along with the kind of connection you have (Cable, DSL, Fios, Wireless, Etc... And location: New York, London, Podunk, Orangeburg, Babylon, Charlotte, etc...)
I'm just curious...
