I noticed a major slowdown starting Saturday night around 7pm.  Yesterday I was only seeing 140-180kB/s download speeds.  Tech support told me that everything was ok on their end.   Twisted Evil yeah right.

I'm in Florence, where are you?

I think they might be trying to get ready for their phone system. Also Insighbb has over sold the area with their $30.00 broadband deal. About a month ago Insight put in a new server here to split the system. I'm on a 4000/384 package and now I great speeds down but the up needs a little help. Have you scaned for virus and spyware lately?

The only thing I've done lately was I installed that QIC assistant thing. Supposed to help get you back up and running if you ever have an issue. Used it once actually. Fixed me up without calling any techs.

I was trouble shooting an Insight connection on friday.. I saw 2200ms+ ping times to the the first few insight routers..  We determined that it was the router.. (WRT54G)   For some reason it was not behaving correctly even after a flash of new Linksys firmware.. Confused   So we put dd-wrt, a linux version that does void the warrenty, on the router and it has been fine now..  They two guys are getting about 4900/373

This is faster than I've gotten in the last two weeks. Had a tech out last Friday (1/20) who said that he wasn't getting above 1500 from the pole... another one came out Monday (1/23) while I wasn't home, saw my router and exclaimed that was my problem and refused to run any tests.

I have a D-Link DI-604 wired router and a Motorola SB5100 cable modem. Anyone have any thoughts, or should I continue to harass them to actually fix the node I'm on?

I've thought about it. Get this.. when I upgraded to Plus, my downstream was no better... and when the tech came out.. he said.. "it's not guaranteed.. only UP TO 6 meg" and I said.. "Fine, take it off cause I ain't paying for it." heh. And.. to beat it all, starting in Feb. they jacked my price up for basic by $3.

tech was out again today.. surprised they came.. however, he proved to me that my speed issues were due to my machine. So, I checked one of the other machines in the house.. sure enough.. speeds were average for Insight.

I started trying to troubleshoot stuff on my machine and remembered I had read at DSLR that someone said that older versions of ZoneAlarm could cause a dramatic speed loss even if you aren't actively running it. Well, apparently, so can the new versions, because after I uninstalled it, my pc's speeds are now average.
