vers slow upload speed

[ripken204]

the last few days ive hald pretty much no upload speed. the dsl reports speed test reports 6.5 KB/s upload speed and i tried uploading to my ftp and i was gettin 7.5KB/s max. i used to have over 100KB/s upload. anyone have an idea of why this is? or should i just call my isp an ask them, the're phones arnt open today so thats why im asking here first. btw, its dsl.

Howdy from nearby Amherst, NY My brother-in-law lives in Greece and has Roadrunner out there by you. He's experienced similar issues on and off for the last couple of years and it usually seems to happen on the weekends. Of course this could be he's noticing it more on the weekends since that's when he has most of his free time. But I wonder if perhaps they perform network upgrades or repairs in the weekend, figuring it would disrupt business less that way. I have Telcove (formerly Adelphia Business Solutions) for T1 connections and they always do that sort of stuff either in the middle of the night or on the weekend. Sometimes things don't always go as planned however and the service interruption lasts much longer than expected.

thats where i live

but he also has cable which is shared and since everyone is home during the weekends...

My mistake.. he does have Frontier DSL. I still had Roadrunner in my brain after reading an article about how Time Warner is considering purchasing the cable modem franchise from Adelphia out this way.
