100M : Speed Increase is a speed decrease

[SnoopZ]

I dont notice any difference in WiFi performance between the SH2, SH2ac or Hub3.

If you want better WiFi then stick it in modem mode and get a decent router that suits your need.

I get 193 meg down on my z3 compact with the S2AC so the wifis not that bad

VM Tech installed SG TCP Optimiser http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php and under general settings set the slider to 100+mbps and set "optimal settings".

Rebooted and now the dl is close to the 150mbps I should be getting.

However the ul speed dropped from a solid 10mbps to 4mbps.

Another reboot and all is well (as far as speeds go)

Didn't say it was.

Try reading the thread first.

As others have said, the absolute best way to get good wireless is to use your own router. The SH2/AC isn't bad, but your own (decent!) router is what's best. Up to you if you want to pay for one or not though. As they say, you pay for what you get.

Settle down, I don't think he was being nasty or anything.

Got my 200 upgrade and new hub this morning and so far it is rock solid

Wired
204.99 Mb Down
12.30 Mb Up

Wireless 5Ghz
187.76 Mb Down
12.36 Mbs Up

So I am impressed so far.

Just learnt that the fault in my area which was due to be resolved on 24 Feb will now not be until May...

My speed dropped dramatically as soon as I connected the new modem. Now lucky to get 10Mb in peak time. Apparently the "upgrade" to 200Mb moved my connection from one CMTS to another which is why I wasn't affected previously.

Hoping to be able to downgrade and get back on the other CMTS.. do you think that this is technically possible? How can I find out what CMTS I am on? And what department do I need to speak to to get details about the upgrades they are making?

Thanks

Answers ad seriatim.
A1) Yes but they won't do it because potentially it affects their load balancing on your cable segment/node so only Level2/Networks or possibly retentions will do it, if you know who specifically to talk to (which of course you won't).

A2) Any Leve1 (except offshore) can inform you or depending on the network log/SHub model then some error stanza's will contain the CMTS-mac
address from which the 3 high order octets will reveal the NIC type for the CMTS which can be resolved to CMTS type. Reverse DNS Host address will also yield a clue.

A3) First off Level1 callcentre (except offshore may iinvolve some time wasting), otherwise UK Retentions (Thinking of Leaving us option) 150 option 5-4? during office hours have more flexibility if you're negotiating a degraded service on that basis.

My service has been pants. Until I cancelled and now it's perfect. So I will enjoy it for 30 days before I leave. As I just know it's a ploy to stop me cancelling (or feels like it) and it'll be pants again when I do!

I've never been able to find the MAC for the CMTS anywhere could you possibly help?

You should find it in your Hub3 network log.

Not sure if it appears in the log for that not had 1 of those since the Hub3 trial started.
