Anyone else getting shitty connection speed from Sympatico? It's been like this for 3 weeks.

I called them last week and the automated voice (thank god I didn't have to talk to any of their CRs from India) told me that the whole Montreal region was experiencing slow speeds but you would think they would have fixed it by now.

So anyone else in the same boat with me and getting irritated their porn aint d'ling fast enough?

Man I wish I was this guy right about now

I think there is conflict between administration and technicians over at Bell, so they might be causing it as pressure. Their email servers have been going up and down for the past 2 weeks as well...
 
fk yea so fkn annoying...it was slow like last month for about 2 weeks then went back to normal and now for the last 2 weeks its been complete shit again
 
When I am downloading torrents, I can't surf internet... once I close utorrent, internet backs on... wtf...

It's a technical issue resulting from the fact that Bell is throttling P2P traffic.

Your OS has a maximum number of TCP sessions that can be open simultaneously for security reasons. As Bell keeps on resetting your Torrent traffic, your client tries to open new TCP connections at the same time, maxing out the cap of your system, blocking at the same time http traffic

Basically you need to shutdown your torrent client (even though its running at 30kb/sec)
 
They are probably messing with their brand new switches that can do deep packet inspection.
It's great, now they can see if you are browsing porn :D
 
I'm with cogeco and they limit torrent d/l to 18k/sec and when torrent is open my skype doesn't work.
 
Danm me too, these last days were crap shit speed when i have torrent open, i can't surf at all!

I currently use the old modem, the black and grey one. Bell sent me a new, vertical white router, should i use that one, or keep the old?

I dont want them to disturb my Torrent'ing
 
not so bad past 2 days, but before that... slow as shit. Just call and scream at them and tell them your going to switch from videotron and demand compensation.
 
bell has been crapping up for the past 3-4 weeks for me.
From 2p-10pm the internet does not work and the lights on the model keep resetting. After that time, internet works as normal.
 
A la maison j'ai Vidéotron 7/820 et ça marche #1 depuis que j'ai sorti Bell avec leur maudit profile de 1.5/384...

Sauf qu'au centre-ville, nos 2 lignes DSL de Bell avec le profile de 8/800 vont #1 et sont utilisés au bout !... :D
