I heard the upgrade is delayed to the 30th of this month

woodyear99 · « **Reply #63 on:** July 15, 2010, 01:24:44 PM »

I would say over the past few months my connection has stabilised. On average a 60 ms ping to FL based servers on speedtest.net

I dont care about speedtest. Pingtest is the REAL test of a connection's stability...and flow be failing big time.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #66 on:** July 15, 2010, 02:53:28 PM »

WTMC I NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR see A on my test. You have a super golden connection there yes. Like I need to move in your area.

woodyear99 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 15, 2010, 02:57:20 PM »

Lol I am happy with the service as of this moment but I won't forget the past. Last year I had months of poor service with speeds slower than dialup on some days. My internet would go super slow during the day and only during off peak times would I get good service. I remember back in 2007 when I had first got it, real terrible speeds, nearly canceled to go back with Blink. And yeah their support over the phone is horrible, real busy tone and fail.

53ms ping to miami

woodyear99 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:21:59 PM »

Yeah though I remember back when I was on old Blink/Tstt 256k "high" speed internet 130 ms ping was good, used to think that pings below 100 ms were impossible from Trinidad to the States, glad we made it to this point at least lol.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #71 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:30:13 PM »

very very true
100 + ms was real good dota ping

so 56 is like gold

Notnice · « **Reply #72 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:39:23 PM »

I remember playing bf2 with 550 to 999 ping lol with greendot a few years back

50 to 60 ping is like finding a next earth to me

TheApprentice · « **Reply #73 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:42:20 PM »

Take into consideration that 50-60 ping to miami is across Columbus networks. Every where else (cross network) is in the 100ms+ area. Which ain't bad... Jus saying

And boo @ no upgraded.
South 10mb people was supposed to get 15mbps today.

'DON'T KNOW WHEN'?

Fail...simple as that.

I am pretty sure that they knew before today that they couldn't go through with the upgrade. A simple message in the very same press would have sufficed, instead of waiting on people to actually have to call.

I always take these 'upgrade' announcements with a truckload of salt.

mailman166 · « **Reply #78 on:** July 20, 2010, 05:45:54 PM »

My insider source in flow told me "we getting our updates on 30th..."

15th was 4 commercial people... Yayyyyyy

They didnt even tell them until the 14th what the upgrade was for... So it appears its not only us being suckered
