gamehead200 Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 My internet connection has just tremendously dropped from 800kbps to 55kbps!!! WTF is going on? Anyone know any suggestions on how to fix this??
Aaron Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 How long has that been going on for? You sure its not just a temporary glitch with your ISP?
XPerties Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Anyone know any suggestions on how to fix this??call your ISP. MSFN about a year ago stopped calling ISP for members.
gamehead200 Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Dunno...I only realized it this afternoon...It was working this morning...Hmmm...It must have something to do with "my friend"...His dad works for my ISP and he reported me for something I didn't do, but I don't think they would slow down my internet connection for that reason (some of you may know the story)...He said that they would monitor me (yeah, OK, they need a warrant to do that )...Other than that, I have no idea how this could have happened...

xper Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Hmmm...It must have something to do with "my friend"...His dad works for my ISP and he reported me for something I didn't do, but I don't think they would slow down my internet connection for that reason (some of you may know the story)...So, no more ping, ping, ping...KiddingMust be something with your ISP. Isn't there website where you can see ISP connection status?
Doggie Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 yeh xper, my isp on there main site lists it like msn messenger servers.. whether theres maintence etc is going on
gamehead200 Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 I'm not sure...I sent them an e-mail and now I'm waiting for a response...I asked some other people that have my ISP, and they said it was fine...ISP is Sympatico (Sympatico.ca)...I'm sending this message from school...The **** kid is looking at me right now...
sadatkarim Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 hmm...are you using cable...cuz if a teenager moved in your negihborhoodd...he could be downloading 24 hours..
gamehead200 Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Can you re-word that? I didn't really understand...Anywayz, I asked the kid who's dad reported me and he said that it was his dad that told my ISP to reduce my **** speed 1/16 of the original 800kbps! That's less than a 56k modem...Now wtf do I do to get my speed back to normal? Call them up? Send them an e-mail? HELP!!!
gamehead200 Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Well, the good thing about this situation is that my parents don't have to find out at all, since when we registered with the ISP, the first registered e-mail was mine! So all the e-mail going in and out to and from my ISP comes through my e-mail...
sadatkarim Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 thats good..my parents hate it when i overload the internet by download too much!!
Robertson Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 i shouldnt imagine hed have the rights to do that without good reason? id give them a call rather than email and speak to someone asap...
MSNwar Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 You have a contract or written agreement with them right? They are legaly obligated to honor the terms of the contract. ISP Managers love customers of good standing, i.e. those that pay their bills! Need I say more?
