B.Ob. Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like the IP change happened Sunday morning. It seems like some (down Orchard Park way) are completely without internet access because they are not getting a public IP currently. Of the 2 modem's I've seen working, the premier one is getting horrible speed, and the other is getting decent speeds, but having trouble getting to some sites, my.yahoo.com, ebay.com, plus others...

Yup, thank god we have an inside guy to give us a heads up on these things. Mine didn't come back till sometime this afternoon.

I told him patience... Looks like most/all the routing problems are fine from here now. Although my premier modem is still under speed, but MUCH better that it was yesterday!!

B.Ob. Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Cool beans!! Did someone have to update the provisioning for your modem? or did time heal all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten you work there too. I don't understand though, why did they hit everyone at once or were they doing it in sections? Seems like they just decided to turn the lights out on everyone and hoped when they turned them back on everyone was still there.

B.Ob. Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 My premier was still getting 245k up and down til I called them. Back in the fast lane again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurSuiT Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Here is a speed test from FIOS, Drooling yet? You can shut your mouth now! Flies might get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nice speeds there Pursuit. YES Pursuit, we are all drooling over those speeds, I wouldn't mind them myself And yes Dragon, I knew who your comment was direct at, which is why I was staying silent till now. I think my headache from having to deal w/ all the Buffalo peeps is finally starting to subside now. If you can ONLY imagine the amount of whinning & complaining I had to put up with... To say that TWC could've OR should've done things differently is a moot point now, so I'm not going to get into it. If U all haven't noticed yet, U now have a new set of IP's which are starting with 98.x.x.x Those IP's are why the issues exsist in terms of routing & secure website access problems. As for the modem speeds for those of us who have the Premier Speed lvl's, Conan was right about the provisioning platform dropping the ball & screwing U till U call us & get the modem file fixed. Right now the speeds for those modems are set to 254kbps up & down. I have NO IDEA as to why, it just is. Bob, I'm glad U called in the other day & got it fixed, I was going to call & tell U to do so, but U beat me to it. Our mutual friend there that helped ya mentioned that U called. To say that the issues there have been fully resolved would be an understatement, but @ least things are starting to get better now. Enjoy your new ISP!!! -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurSuiT Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I think TW is slipping as far as speeds. Here is a break down that I have been seeing for broadband services in the WNY area just from posts on our forums. Anyone that thinks that free and wireless means slow is sadly mistaken. Sip and Surf Wireless serive - FREE (Parts of South Buffalo and Kenmore) Std Time Warner Road Runner service - $44.95 Priemer Time Warner Road Runner service - $54.95 Verizon FIOS 20/5Mb - $49.95 Looking for more wireless services in WNY. If anyone knows of any let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
