Are any other Earthlink/rr users experiencing weird upload spikes? According to netlimter, when I unlimit the upload on dc++ its going as high as 150-200, when im only supposed to have 62.5 up. When I take speeds tests my upload is normal but my download is like 3.3. Anybody else having weird occurrences?

Now I seem to be getting only 30Kbps for my upload wtf is going on. angry5

Is this stuff that rr is doing, like maintenance, or is Earthlink in control of this and I should call them?

Just spoke to Earthlink..they said these slow speeds are caused by Time Warner working on their servers and network for the upcoming upgrade,he couldnt confirm the date..but for some strange reason he said increase up to 8 Mbps and $5-$10 more *shrug*

Would that bump the premium up 3Mbps maybe? I don't really care about download, 5 is fine, but the upload is so insufficient.

From what it looks like,and with all the competition they have,the premium will probably be much faster,comparable to most other companies like 15 Mbps...as for the upload,we will just have to find out :haha:

Yea I was hoping I would get upgraded to at least 10, 15 would be nice though. As soon as timewarner gets the new speeds for rr customers, does Earthlink take longer?

I think someone wanted to just get you off the phone.  Get me the guys actual location and I will get the speed for his location.
