When you have too many cars on the freeway, your speed must slow. When you have too much traffic on an internet connection, your speed must slow. The difference with an internet connection is that if you overdo either the download or the upload bandwidth, the other is cut off as well. I also don't see how you can have dial up at 512kbps as the max is 56kbps. | |

| Feb 25, 2011 at 0:00 | comment | added | MaQleod | I agree with that, if you look at my answer below, I point that out as a step in the diagnostic process. Its just not one an ISP will check until they remove all other local options first. I have done installation and troubleshooting for years on circuits. It is almost always a local issue, either to the circuit or the LAN. If it is a trunk problem, the ISP would have hundreds and hundreds more calls into their queue, it would be noticed and handled relatively quickly. | |
| Feb 24, 2011 at 23:56 | comment | added | Shinrai | @MaQleod - I think you missed my point, which is that 'too much usage on a single trunk' is a POTENTIAL explanation. It may not be likely but you can't dismiss it out of hand, and it would explain the timing variations. | |
| Feb 24, 2011 at 23:55 | comment | added | MaQleod | @shinrai, comcast has nothing to do with this, 512kbps doesn't exist for comcast. This is a DSL line, probably an older adsl or sdsl connection. A few hundred people on a single trunk is nothing uncommon. | |
| Feb 24, 2011 at 23:17 | comment | added | Shinrai | @MaQleod - Or, there could be several hundred households in your neighborhood piggingbacking on one Comcast cable line. I dunno if I agree with BBlake that it's "More likely" but it's sure as hell possible. | |
| Feb 24, 2011 at 22:52 | comment | added | MaQleod | @BBlake, That is not how it works. Your neighbor could have a different ISP or be on a different DSLAM or trunk and have nothing to do with your connection. Just because someone lives near you doesn't mean they are using shared bandwidth. DSL connections are shared at the equipment at the CO and even the same DSLAM can have multiple trunks. Most trunks are more heavily utilized between 8am and 5pm and are well below the 30% mark in the evening. This is not always the case, but is the norm. | |

| Feb 24, 2011 at 21:12 | comment | added | ChrisF | Why don't you contact your ISP and ask them? | |
| Feb 24, 2011 at 21:07 | comment | added | user unknown | And the question is? Whether your ISP is limiting your traffic? Maybe it would be a good idea to tell us: * Who is your ISP? * Where are you? * What kind of contract do you have? * What kind of connection are we talking about (UMTS, DSL, classical Modem-dial-in, ...)? | |
