    Clear throttling to 3MB/s on CISP / Vumatel

    Speedtest comes back at full speed (bit over actually). I'd agree but for the fact that it was doing exactly the same thing on EasyNews, SunnyUsenet and GigaNews. I've been doing some more testing this morning and the speed on Usenet seems to have returned to normal, oddly enough--maybe it...

    Clear throttling to 3MB/s on CISP / Vumatel

    I've been a client of Cool Ideas for several years and had nothing but incredible service on a 500/100 package. However the past several days I've been noticing that Usenet traffic from SunnyUsenet, Easynews and Giganews was much slower than usual. I would normally see 20-25MB/s transfer speeds...

    Vumatel installed, but... flashing blue power light and no helpdesk response for days

    So the installation team put my fibre line in, during which they managed to break the cable (which the second technician who showed up an hour or so later said is fairly common). He did a splice by the CPE and also outside by the main external box, which he seemed to think had resolved the...

    How to reset degraded ADSL line to full speed?

    I have a 10-meg ADSL line and it normally syncs at just about 10 meg. However when it rains the speed occasionally downregulates to 6, 7 or 8 meg, and sometimes it takes weeks or months for the full speed to come back. My router tells me the maximum speed the line can do is 13 meg or so, so...
