Mr. L., in Broadlands North, between Chickacoan and Truro Parish.

 

I'm seeing okay download speeds, but uploads are still rotten (I can't say how bad since my latest speed test has been running for 17 minutes).

I called Tech Support this morning, and I was told that the incident had been downgraded to minor. The support guy told that meant it would be closed soon. He couldn't be more specific about when "soon" might be, though. He acknowledged it was a problem with uploads, but provided no further details.

 

I just called Adelphia, (888)683-1000, and tech support told me they could not see anything that would be causing problems in our area (oh what a surprise). I'm not getting any upload issues but download speeds are erratic.

 

This won't help you guys, but my ping results to yahoo.com are:

Ping statistics for 216.109.112.135:
Packets: Sent = 97, Received = 97, Lost = 0 <0% loss>,

I just spoke to Tech Support again. The CSR acknowledged the outage, but she had no new information on cause or the ETA of the fix.

It seems better than last night, but it's still really awful at times. I haven't been able to finish the upload portion of a speedtest. I started one at 8:00pm, and it's still running. I have been "surfing" since then so it wouldn't be too accurate, but I couldn't wait any longer.

 

Ugh. Tried 3 times just to post a reply. Died every time.

For those without issues, what IP are you all on?

I'm on 68.235.171.**.

Still hosed here also, 12-20% packet loss. Impossible to game over .

 

Just finished a speedtest. Took about 15 minutes. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

FWIW, I haven't been seeing any problems the last few days. Last week was another story.

I'm hanging off 67.20.47.x

 

Somewhat better, but still unacceptable:

Here is what I did after they did not resolve my problems that kept repeating over two years both with the both the internet and and cable. over two years I was having sparatic slow internet and finally they could not get video on demand working after it was working perfectly during the test period. All they did was nice me to death and send idiots out to the hosue that resolved nothing one even tried to sell me a power booster not through adelphia but from him personally. Anyway I filed a lawsuit in small claims and went to their office on red rum and personally delivered my lawsuit. Within two days all issues were resolved without sending anyone to my house.

I was well documented and prepared to go to court and they knew it.

With what I am seeing here it looks like drastic action my be required as it looks like the problems keep coming back or never have been resolved successfully or just temporally.

It is a shame the last many years we are being niced to death by corporations without ever really many times solving the problem. Personally I would rather have *** hole that knows what he is doing then a nice idiot that will never resolve the problem because he does not know or trained well enough to solve the problem. My internet and cable has not had a problem since.

I will add my lawyer brother showed me that small claims can be very effective and inexpensive when used properly. Further the key to winning is being well documented many lawyers sadly do not do enough homework and you can out do them if your are well prepared.
I was involved in a multi million dollar lawsuit and we destroyed 5 lawyers and two were from a worldwide law firm with endless resources and a client with deep pockets. I had a folksy lawyer that was throughly prepared and had me do a lot of research and documentation as well including a Private detective. They also had a lot more paper as they call it except it was all crap to impress their client and try to win by papering us to death. In the end the very smart judge gave us a factual decision orally in my favor which took him over an hour and a half in court. That is somewhat a very rare type of decision and very difficult to appeal which they did not. I know there are lawyers on this board but I think the problems you all are having here might need to go to the next level to be resolved completely and hopefully quickly. I doubt Adelphia will want this to go to court and have more negative publicity in their change over.
