Our cable service is down again. It is the third evening out of four that we have no Internet service. This time the outage is close to five hours.

Anyone else seeing this in Johnsonville?

I hope it is back tomorrow morning... Not looking forward to calling the help desk...

The service wasn't back this morning, so called Help Desk. Convinced the lady I had already left the modem off overnight, taken the router out of the problem by connecting a PC directly to it, etc.

After some wait while she contact the technical folks the service came back.

After the speedtest came back I ran a couple of speedtests using the TelstraClear testing site and noticed that my Cisco router tops at about 80 Mbps, while the direct connection to a PC tops at about 95 Mbps... Might get a new router soon.

Otherwise for a geek pfsense on PC Engines Alix board or a mikrotek unit makes for a fun project.

Just an update... I've managed to get a Cisco E3200, which scores quite well on that table. I am going to replace the Cisco SRP 521W with this new one and see how much more improvement we can get.

Is anyone noticing any problems this evening? I'm getting intermittent issues accessing overseas websites. I logged it into the geekzone fault thingy earlier.

A pox on you all SmileSmile

80Mb is far too much for any one person.

I am so envious. I live in Broadmeadows and the cable runs right passed (or below) the only entrance into my suburb.

Telecom sucks Frown

80Mb is 10MB, which is the size of one large image file. Do you mean 80GB? :p

He is talking about my speeds, so 80 Mh is correct.
