The last Flow CSR I spoke to recently told me that they have a tool in their office that shows overall area congestion. For my area he said that historically and in the past day, it never really passes 30%. He said that load for the area is fine and that shouldn't be the issue.

Yes the speedtests above were taken @ 2am, time of post.

OK, got a reply. Network manager said to provide the account #s and he'll take a look.

Could you PM the account #s?

This is tonights status (as of 7:35PM)

nice, well I just connected the flow modem directly to my PC to eliminate all other possibilities.

Results are "concerning"

Mez you may have noise on your line, try this line quality test from dslreports.

And now for the offpeak tests, taken this morning at 8:49am

and for kicks, one to curacao

Pingtest

Tested in game as well. and working smooth as silk.

So it's back to fantastic in the morning.

Wreaks of congestion at peak times.

Those Mother !!@!@!#!# don't have enough bandwidth, I give that a Samuel L. Jackson crazy look....lol

But that is truly messed up man, I mean peak hours and that kinda lag you was getting last night in SC2, not acceptable.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #409 on:** October 20, 2010, 05:23:48 PM »

lol, that picture is a classic

Doing some tests from the office for jones:

and one to flow:

Talk about pace. A little slice of Korea yes. If only they could put some starcraft 2 servers on flow network.

captainchris · « **Reply #410 on:** October 20, 2010, 06:05:26 PM »

i couldnt even complete a proper pingtest to miami

wtf is that!!

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #411 on:** October 20, 2010, 07:50:23 PM »

Try a different miami server, there are two.

The fun begins, now to test a game

captainchris · « **Reply #412 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:41:58 AM »

i did
i tried a number of servers

here is my work connection..

that is full load on the DCHP servers..so everyone is online..doing there ting..youtube..browsing, facebook..we have over 600+ clients on that connection
notice the upload isnt being used much if at all...

TheApprentice · « **Reply #413 on:** October 21, 2010, 03:36:48 PM »

Flow came and swapped my modem today from the old one to the new one we had @ Flow's World.

Did not solve the problem..lol

Service still underperforming with respects to bandwidth at least.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #414 on:** October 21, 2010, 04:18:54 PM »

interesting results there captain.

Apprentice, those pings looking pretty decent. If that holds up during peak time (say from 7pm gmt-4 to 11pm) you're back in the game.

I'll be very keen on seeing your results then.

TheApprentice · « **Reply #415 on:** October 21, 2010, 07:59:40 PM »

Shortlived as expected. New modem has not solved the problems.. Flow really has to fix this. Don't offer 100mbps/50mbps/25mbps/10mbps if you can't even deliver 5mbps at peak hours.. sigh.

These were taken few minutes before 8pm.

DO you know how much for a connection like that u have at work... Price in TT$???

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #417 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:37:58 AM »

Well yesterday I did a peak time test at the sis-in-law's residence in the diego area. She has the new flow modem and was doing 60ms pings and 5mb flat to florida.

This was around 8-9pm.

So that gives more credence to the theory that each geographic area has its own share of bandwidth.

Our area is clearly over loaded. They need to give us a bigger slice of the pie.

Off Peak here and look at pace.

boom @ 58ms ping

microone · « **Reply #418 on:** October 26, 2010, 09:54:32 AM »

ok have not been here in a bit but it seems that they have improved

check

and this is at home

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #419 on:** October 26, 2010, 10:19:21 AM »

Its common to get those results when testing against Flow's on servers.

A test up the islands or Miami is what you should do.
