Flow Broadband - Status Thread

[W1nTry]

Torrents use too large a span of ports would be my guess. You can easily restrict a small range of ports, but when your range in torrents are from 15k go up, it's just too large to restrict without affecting other services.

[rassmatic]

All good here now just got to hate youtube for it's slow load time

get a video accelerator like me. ByWifi FTW!!!!

[Crixx_Creww]

interesting suggestion @ bywifi
will check it out later

but last night i did some research and removing hardware acceleration from your flash videos seems to increase streaming speed.

[Notnice]

anyone else flow  going down alot 2day

[TheApprentice]

FLOW Speeds just took a REL big deep by me... 256K speeds to servers other than local which giving 2mbps.
THE 1 DAY I have a livestream of something to watch flow flekkin up...
.............................
Anybody else similar? (south area)

[Eroo]

Yes I from south and I thought I actually was running on my blink backup which is 256k.

I think with so many ppl on flow now they running out of bandwidth.

[Spazosaurus]

Is anyone else's flow link down this morning? I'm in Port of Spain.

[Crixx_Creww]

Company uses flow
we are up , everything seems fine, we on Charlotte street

[TriniXaeno]

Fine here too

[Spazosaurus]

Yea I shame to say what the problem was. False alarm people.

[Spazosaurus]

I have an open request to anyone one flow. Please run a continuous ping on 4.79.145.210 and post about 100 replies please. Im trying to get to the bottom of my BC2 lag issues.

[mailman166]

yes flow pings here in VISTABELLA r horridible, " and yes i spelt it right" .... Imagine trying to get in a COD 4 server and getting booted by all the servers for high ping... 340+ on a specific night earlier this week...


but the silver lining BLink's giving very much balls for service of late and problems with streaming....

[woodyear99]

Did a ping test, all seems ok today. In POS.

[Spazosaurus]

Wyatt you getting some bess pings to that server boy.  Mine all over the damn place spiking up to 1200 and 1400 ms too regularly, hence my Michael Jackson antics in game.

I could only dream of such great pings. Ill see what happens tonight.

[Berzerk]

pings arent horrible but my net keeps on dropping every once in awhile. been happening a couple weeks now.

[Notnice]

Flow going mad  this week only cutting off.

[woodyear99]

It not working good anymore

[TheApprentice]

o lawwd Flow rel acting up today.
I signed into PSN and everyone seeing me as offline. Not receiving messages... But I could send..
Signing out randomly...sign back in, friends not loading...and web pages taking ages to load.
This happening for anyone else?





yea....that bad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last week I called in Flow about the random disconnects and slowdowns.
They sent someone over and he checked the box they installed outside.
He said that he "BOOST" my signal and everything should be fine.
That didn't do one fart as throughout the same day and days following the same thing was happening prior to "signal boosting".
