Anyone noticing a general bog down of connect to sites lately?

[jdc1]

This is getting pretty rediculous. Certain times of the day (like now) 10:00 AM
12-2-05 the connect to sites just wait and drag on for a full two minutes before
connecting. Oh! When I try again 3 hours later...all's fine.

Then it just keeps freaking happening again.

4 years ago...this type of crap was what we had this usegroup for. Back then these
types of problems happened a lot. Then for 3 years, it was mostly about other issues.
Connections were pretty much fine.

I'm here to say that my connectivity is getting pretty damn hit and miss lame lately.
Coronado.

I've reconnected all my connections and checked grounding and splitters.

For the past 3 years...I've been very satisfied with RR. Now as of the last 2 weeks,
I get 56k type loading speed of pages during certain times of day.

What'd ya know..it's during business peak hours....gee..is it my splitter or something?

Edwin?

Want a log of day that a tracert or -n 15 times out?

We are making changes to DNS. If your sites are coming up sometimes fast
and sometimes slow, could you check to see if you are using dynamic DNS
or if you have to, use 66.75.164.90?

Edwin, I did a -n20 to the above mentioned. It proceeds at first..then times out at
#3..then proceeds 18 times..then times out..then finishes.
I have a Dynamic address (dynamiic meaning my addy isn't set in stone).

It would be reassuring to know that whatever is going on is being stabilixed, and it
might take awhile longer to stabilize..as long as this doesn't continue for too much
longer. Edwin, I noticed this all happening within the last 12-14 days ago. Ever since 2
Saturday nights ago when my signal was lost for 6 hours. Ever since then...connectivity
has been great at times...then really lousy. (not even able to do a RR speed test).

Any reassurace you can offer would be appreciated.

Edwin, right now my connections to various websites are connecting fast.
However, in the last 2 weeks, at times..pages take forever to load.
This is an intermittent problem. Today...I could not even run a RR speed test.
This is what frustrates me as I am usually patient to ride out temporary net glitches.

Only Edwin...these are becoming quite frequently, lately, and happen mostly during
business hours.

I'm not one to bitch and usually ride out temp glitches. Many are happening recently,
Edwin. I note the changes being made and hope these lags in service subside.

well, it sounds like your symptoms, while simliar, are not DNS related.
It would probably be best if you called tech support at this point.

I am also seeing poor connections lately. Thats why I came to this forum
tonight and i found that it is the newest topic in the messages... so
it's not just me.
It is also intermittent for me, like others had posted. Sometimes there
are sites that I can not connect to at all, while at the same time other
sites load very quickly. This has been going on more than a week.

Mine's using 66.75.164.90.

I was getting 75% packet loss on Wednesday off and on, 15 minutes later
things would be fine, 15 minutes later things would go south again.

I feel your pain, having gone through the same thing.

I've reconnected all my connections and checked grounding and
splitters.

Have you tried actually replacing any cables or splitters? Did you check
by using a voltmeter or wattmeter to measure signal attenuation? Or
bypass the splitters when the problem occurs to see if that helps?

My splitter was a high-end Winegard model, so I thought naah, that can't
be the problem. But it was. All it takes is a cold solder joint to go
bad.

Maybe have a tech come out and check signal levels along the line from
the street to the modem. For replacements, Circuit City sells a Monster
2-way 2 GHz for around $20. Overpriced, but probably reliable.

Just because this solved my problem doesn't mean it will solve yours.
:-) But I was cussing out RR too before I realized the problem was on my
end.

Good luck,
