Another one of TSTT's "upgrades" let's see what happens after Wednesday...

[Arcmanov]

512 iwmc!!?
Fingers, toes, (and eyes) crossed.

It kinda funny how DSL users now complainin that 256k real slow.
Just 3 years ago, we only had 56k dialup.  Its amazing that anything actually got
done at that speed eh?
Look at the plethora of connectivity options we have now (from TSTT, and ONLY because they get some
COMPETITION idmc).

My Speedstream patiently awaits.

[Spazosaurus]

Did you get any kind of word through the grapevine recently or u just hoping and praying like everyone else Arc?

[TriniXaeno]

upgrades are always welcome.

more sand, more sand!

btw, anyone got one of their new paradyme routers? I hate those things.

[Netizen1]

New routers... they crappy or wha baego?

[Spazosaurus]

Yip paradyne routers. They are ADSL2 routers actually and are capable of speeds of 100Mbps. Dreadfully big and ugly things they are though.

[Netizen1]

Well, that is most likely because TSTT gonna be offering better speeds soooooooooooonnnnn.....

* Voyd mutters, Soooooonnnn my Preciousssssss......

[TriniXaeno]

yeah, they are slightly bigger and definitely less attractive but what irks me is the interface.

Just changing the username and password is a far more complicated affair than on the speedstream.

As is, seeing if you are connected at the moment. No clear "DSL" connectivity light either.

but if it brings in faster speeds then we could overlook these shortcomings.

[W1nTry]

My greatest concern is that they support NAT-T and/or greater Protocol forwarding support and/or IPSEC passthrough. Yeah VPN stuff I talking about here, as it stands, standard Speedstream modems are a problem for VPNs in fact i'd go as far as to say on TSTT infrustructure wit a standard dynamically assigned IP and basic Speedstream 4200 or 5200 IPSEC/L2TP vpns are ni impossible, VERY unreliable at best, what's your take on this Baego?

[Netizen1]

What I think everyone wondering, is what kinda speeds we talking about...

I remember someone posting a 8Mbps screenshot (that's 1MBps download speed)

So unless TSTTmcs can bring a connection that's as fast or faster than flow's rumoured 3Mbps, at an affordable price. we gonna see some mass exodus from their dsl users...

[disciple]

are they worse than the netopia?

[Netizen1]

Ok, so was the "upgrade" done last night or is it tonight?

[Arcmanov]

Good question, I did a bandwidth test and nothing has changed.  Will try on thursday.

[UltimateGamer]

stuepps like tstt does study anything else but making money if not fuh digicel we woulda still be suffering with high cellphone rates. Ah cyar tell all yuh how much I beg for a bandwidth upgrade. Well if it take digicel to make tstt step up their game, then hopefully flow go make dem do the same thing

torrents are slow slow slow all of a sudden without any changing of any settings and HTTP downloading is the same way ..SLOW  - i'm talking 5KB (dial up slow lol on a DSL)
 
now the even more strange thing is that P2P downloading is fast XD (25-30KB) sometimes staight up to 33

so for a summary of wat i jus said :

WEB SITES - Opening good
HTTP DL -  3-5KB/s
TORRENTS DL - 8KB/s
P2P DL - 33KB/s

anyone having this strange problem since wednesday ?
