June 2, 200323 yr My internet connection has just tremendously dropped from 800kbps to 55kbps!!! WTF is going on? Anyone know any suggestions on how to fix this??
June 2, 200323 yr How long has that been going on for? You sure its not just a temporary glitch with your ISP?
June 2, 200323 yr Anyone know any suggestions on how to fix this??call your ISP. MSFN about a year ago stopped calling ISP for members.
June 3, 200323 yr Author 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...
June 3, 200323 yr OK, they need a warrant to do that )...Other than that, I have no idea how this could have happened...no they don't
June 3, 200323 yr 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?
June 3, 200323 yr yeh xper, my isp on there main site lists it like msn messenger servers.. whether theres maintence etc is going on
June 3, 200323 yr Author 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...
June 3, 200323 yr hmm...are you using cable...cuz if a teenager moved in your negihborhoodd...he could be downloading 24 hours..
June 3, 200323 yr Author 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!!!
June 3, 200323 yr Author 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...
June 3, 200323 yr 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...
June 3, 200323 yr 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?
