Flow Broadband - Status Thread

[Notnice]

Now...if Flow could only do something about them UPLOAD SPEEDS DAMMIT!!! 
Right now I in trouble with Fileporn.org and Bootytape.com. 

Lol.

[Eroo]

so after a lot of complaints i am getting my 5mb speed, low pings and youtube working for the first time in months. However it appears torrents are being throttled. They take long to move from 1 k and then they slowly move to around 110k and then go back to 1k and repeat. Anyone else experiencing this?

lol, netlimiter still around boy? used that aeons upon aeons ago before coming upon the penultimate solution. Dedicated pc as a router doing traffic shaping.

Very useful back in the days of limited bandwidth (128k dsl, what a joke)

No longer a problem on the downstream, with 2mb, 5mb and 10mb iwmc.

Upload still weak but say what. All in due time.

As for Eroo....haven't tried downloading anything since the 5mb upgrade to comment on torrent performance. Don't recall getting 1k speeds much even with the 10mb connection I had.

more like 300 and 400k

^^ I use my router to block all non standard ports, aka, no torrents while gaming.

Sadly, is the sameee ole story with these f*cktards...



Flow For The Fail (ftf), or, for the "F", which is what I am getting constantly these days.

I done quarrel and complain only to get a whole setta promises and no action. If I WANTED promises and no action, I would have gone out and vote.

I have signed back up for Blink. At this point, friggin GREENDOT would be a better option than Flow for me.

Poor conduct Flow. F**k  you very much. Keep yuh "F"in 'service'. Good night.

hoss you probably did this already but just in case did you try testing it while directly connected to the cable modem.

[Spazosaurus]

Did that umteen times. Same results. Its not my router.

[Fkacn_tt]

one last thing and this is a big one can you get a friend with flow to bring their modem to your residence and test it and see if they get the same results as you. if that fails guess you have to say goodbye to flow and good riddance

[Spazosaurus]

Not a bad idea. But see the thing is that sometimes it works ok and magically after 7 or 8 pm it goes to hell and in the morning its back to being passable.

The pattern of behaviour indicates its not a modem problem. And it realll not right I should be helping them what they should do on their own.

A guy even came on site and tested the line etc and said that everything was ok.

[Eroo]

I know exactly what you talking about Captain. I feeling to cancel my cable and go to Blink Entertainment just because of how bad flow broadband is.

[TriniXaeno]

probably have water on the line, lol

but seriously, the modem test is a good one.

Flow working peachy here, might want to consider changing location too capitan.

[Spazosaurus]

Guy came and did a line test this week, said it was all clear.

and look at this...



Morning time, suddenly it working more civilised. As soon as later in the day reach, back to the nonsense.

Modem just not a night person? Work ok in the morning and take a break in the night?

[woodyear99]

not enough capacity in your area. Network congestion probably.

[Fkacn_tt]

THIS UPGRADE WAS A BUNDLE OF C#NT. These packages a basically useless with these crappy upload speeds, seriously people who develop these packages need to be fired. 100mbps is wasted bandwidth.

[woodyear99]

Depends on the consumer, dunno what the average user needs but I happy with my 3+ megaBYTES per second download rate hehe :p

It could be a slack connection somewhere on the line??? And the morning's warmth causes the copper to reexpand and touch properly???

1147 vs 69 kbps .... Http vs Torrents

I was at my friend's in barataria and he was getting 400 k on one torrent... Is it they throttling south alone as i'm in vistabella???

[Spazosaurus]

The guy came to check all that, connections are good, Flow service is what sucks.

[rassmatic]

anyone having problems today downloading torrents? i haven't been able to download anything off of BT for the day.

[Eroo]

Well I having that problem but days now. Tomorrow is the day I gave Flow to resolve my problems. If when I come home tomorrow its the same shit then its back to Blink.

[Fkacn_tt]

youtube loading like crap again

[TriniXaeno]

lol @ the love hate flow relationship

I surprise men touting running back to blink like it so easy to do.

When I was moving, applied for Blink two months in advance.....and now four months later...nada, zilch, nothin. Never cancelled the request, so the story still ongoing.

Imagine if it didn't have flow? All now is busy dialup I sweating SC2 on, like it was the 1990s all over again.
