>tfw comcast throttling me to 3MB/s when I'm paying for 20
>youtube videos wont even load
>netflix doesn't work
>can't play games
TLDR how do I stop getting throttled?
Stop torrenting if you do that. Otherwise ring em up and tell em to quit their crap.
>>51874789
I hope you mean 3Mb/s. learn the difference retard
>>51874840
No, I typed it that way for a reason, retard.
3 mid 20s guys living here that know how to computer, we're gonna use data.
>>51874828
They said "high users get bandwidth managed during peak hours" but I woke up at 7:30am and tested and it was still throttled. Total bullshit.
>comcast
I'm honestly starting to feel bad for you amerikeks
>>51874789
>>51874861
There's no way you're paying for 20MB/s from Crapcast.
Anon is right, learn the difference idiot. If you were getting 3MB/s, you'ld have no trouble with your connection.
Hell, even 3mb/s is sufficient for streaming video. You're an idiot, come back when you know what you're talking about.
>>51874887
I know the difference. I regularly get 180Mb/s. I'm paying for 100 but that is what I usually get.
Now I'm capped at 33.3Mb/s which is 4MB/s.
Youtube struggles to load 240p while downloading a steam game. Can't play a game and stream music at the same time.
Oh and this is just my computer, what about the other two guys that are trying to download, watch, or play things at the same time?
>>51874900
Then I guess it's a problem with your hardware.
This doesn't sound like throttling at all, it sounds like your network equipment is having a hard time keeping up.
That speedtest was just taken, Netflix is streaming on one TV, I was streaming crunchyroll, and browsing /g/ with no problem.
My internet connection is also completely wireless. It's a Verizon LTE connection. My network is properly configured and all of my equipment is operating as it should.
My connection is much slower, and I'm not having issues similar to you. Troubleshoot your equipment, don't blame your ISP.
>>51874962
It isn't a problem with my hardware. They TOLD me that I was being throttled, fuckwit.
>>51874969
I'm calling bullshit, an ISP isn't going to admit to throttling you. CS reps are trained to steer you away from that idea.
>>51874981
That's why they called it "being bandwidth managed" instead.
I only used 739GB of data last month. My plan says there is no cap, as I live in Washington state.
>>51874990
In that case, I wouldn't be surprised if you were being throttled.
With that being said, look at my screenshot. Look at my connection speed, and think about the fact that there are two devices streaming video, while another surfs the Web. My ping is still normal for my connection, and nothing is stuttering.
Even if you're being throttled, there is something else wrong.
TROUBLESHOOT. Have you done any tests?
>>51875035
Reset router/modem multiple times, tried friends modem/router, connected directly to modem, all the same exact capped speed. I'm not too concerned with your connection. Mine "works" but is unacceptably slow.
>>51874990
Do you have a 2wire/Pace modem? I hear those are shit at dealing with high-bandwidth torrent-like data like Steam and torrents and multiple connections.
>>51875112
No. Also why would just break? Last month I had a LAN party and we were all downloading GTAV together at no less than 15MB/s per computer while streaming netflix and shit too.
>>51874789
>3MB/s
>youtube videos wont even load
are you watching in 4k?
I barely get 120KB/s and most videos play smoothly
>>51875099
Im not asking you to be concerned with my connection, I'm using it as a reference.
Also, 33mb/s isn't unacceptable. You pay for up to 100mb/s, you aren't allocated a specific amount of bandwidth.
Have you tried connecting a PC directly to the modem your ISP provided? Do that, and run some tests. That'll tell you whether the problem is occurring before or after you're router.
>>51874789
Call em up threatening to switch to another business
>>51875134
Well I was downloading a steam game too. But I'm used to retarded fast, this is unacceptable.
>>51875150
>Have you tried connecting a PC directly to the modem your ISP provided? Do that, and run some tests. That'll tell you whether the problem is occurring before or after you're router.
I have a modem that is a router. 802.11ac, beamforming, all that fancy shit.
It IS unacceptable when nothing works and things take hours to download.
>>51875153
Doing this tomorrow. Fuck em.
>>51874789

>>51875153
This. They TWC always blamed anything they could on my network that wasn't from them. After months of small off and on feuds with customer service I filed a complaint with the BBB and a few months later my connection speed went from 15/1 to 25/2
>>51875182
They also sent me letters saying I had illegally downloaded a spongebob movie and the avengers, neither of which I did. Nobody is on my wifi but authorized devices.
>>51875189
*This. Another thing that works is the BBB. TWC...
I reedited the post a few times and forgot to insert a part
>>51875174
802.11ac can be shit through walls. Test with a wired connection before you go through the trouble of switching ISPs.
I don't even understand why anyone is even replying to you. You're arrogant and entitled. I also highly doubt you completely understand what you're talking about because you said everyone was downloading at 15MB/s when earlier you said you pay for 20MB/s.
You're being inconsistent.

Fuck, double post, apologies.
>>51875205
Oh I'm talking wired in this whole thread, that was the first thing I did.
Also its like you don't always get your max speed when 5 people are all maxing out the connection or something, weird. I guess wanting more than 20% of what I'm paying for makes me entitled. I should just pay for a service that I don't receive, that makes sense :^)
also beamforming works fucking great with 5ghz

if it was a signal strength issue it also wouldnt top out at the EXACT SAME 33.3Mb/s every time on multiple speed testing sites tested via multiple devices and connection types.
>>51875259
everyone check out this fucking normie
>>51874789
change ISPs...that's really all you can do
>>51875236
Again, you pay for up to 100mb/s.
And yes, complaining about something so insignificant makes you seem entitled.
You should be thankful that you can get anything at all, along with the other 90% of people who complain about "slow" speeds.
>>51875311
Would a vpn help in any way?
Am I the only one who has never had problems with Comcast? I pay $40 a month for 100/10, and never had to do anything other than set up service online and enroll in autopay.
>>51875317
I bet you're one of those people that says you can't complain about food being bad because "there are starving kids in africa" or some other dumb shit.
I guess "insignificant" has a different meaning to you. Here is what it really means:
in·sig·nif·i·cant
ˌinsiɡˈnifəkənt/
adjective
too small or unimportant to be worth consideration.
My speeds being 20% of what they should be and being artificially restrictied to the point where nobody here can live their life like normal is pretty significant. Fuck off back to kekville where you and all the other pussy babies that accept whatever they are given without question reside.

20 Megabits a second is 4 less than 3 megabytes a second. Just .5 off. Obvious troll though. 3 megabits should be plenty for YouTube and Netflix though... op must be fucking up somehow. Torrents? Blasting a botnet? You have wifi and you let some nignog connect up?
>>51875336
Complain about it to the FCC.
>>51875317

So if he gets 1mb/s while paying for 100 that is acceptable?
>>51875347
Mega BYTES
MEGABYTES
MB/s
You know, the thing I should get 20/s of, not 180/s of.
Can you not read?
Oh and stop acting like only being able to do one thing at a time is acceptable. I should be able to stream 1080p video while downloading a steam game while my friend browses reddit on his phone via wifi.
>>51875336
Nope, I could care less about the starving children in Africa.
You're still failing to get my point here. You aren't promised any bandwidth at all. Do you understand how cable Internet works? You're bandwidth is shared with everyone on the same physical line as you. YOU AREN'T ALLOCATED ANY BANDWIDTH SPECIFICALLY. You'll get your full speed when it's available. But to be honest, it seems like you're abusing your connection, at least by Comcast's standards.
It seems like you deserve to be throttled. They're actually giving you more than they should.
Get fucked buddy, you're attitude is terrible. If you know as much as you say, why did you come whining to /g/ like some normie faggot?
>>51875370
Implement proper bandwidth management on your router, and all of the available bandwidth won't go to one thing.
The main problem is right in front of you, take care of it.
Also, the modem/router combos that ISPs provide are garbage. You won't get solid performance from them.
>>51875431
Holy shit, I bought my own and it was $250. It isn't some shit chink free one they gave me.
>>51875407
People like you are the reason ISPs in America fuck over everyone every chance they get. Good job being pure cancer and willfully taking it up the butt from cumcast.
I don't see why you're so upset that I'm stating facts but I do know that well adjusted people don't do that. You should try therapy.
>>51875431
oh and it wouldn't just change its settings by itself after working fine for months lmao
>>51875407
>You'll get your full speed when it's available
That's why I'm still throttled at 4am :^)
I asked how to stop getting throttled. You got buttmad at facts. You should try to avoid that.
>>51875482
Yep, I'm helping them fuck over millions of Americans.
No, I'm just the type of person to work with what I have and be thankful for it. Nothing I do is going to change the industry, and the fact that I accept that doesn't make me some cum guzzler.
I grew up with dial-up, had it until 2009, then had Hughesnet until 2014. Forgive me if I learned to not take things for granted.
>>51875492
Firmware updated from Comcast can fuck over settings. Also, they can change your settings at will as well.
>>51875502
I'm not buttmad, just dumbfounded that you can have such an attitude when all I was trying to do was offer insight. You seem like a terrible person anon.
>>51875542
Stay mad and unhelpful.
>I grew up with dial-up, had it until 2009, then had Hughesnet until 2014.
No fucking wonder you think shit speeds and business practices are acceptable. Thanks for finally saying that, I wish you'd said it sooner so that I knew to ignore you from the beginning.
>i tried to offer insight
Yeah, by calling me entitled and saying I'm "whining" (which in most cases on the internet is just stating facts that someone doesn't like) rather than giving actual solutions.
>>51874789
you call their tech support and ask why they are doing it.
If they give you bs excuse like our network doesn't support those speeds in your region tell them that you will be stopping their services and wish them a good day.
>>51875561
Well, I'm getting the best possible speeds for my connection right now, simple because I've troubleshooted any problems that have occurred and fixed every one of them.
I have no reason to be mad, I'm actually in a good mood. You're making my day buddy.
Also, I didn't call you entitled until you gave me a reason to.
I've seen others mention possible solutions and you haven't paid any attention to them at all. You're too busy replying to me, trying to piss me off.
Move out of Amerikekland where you pay out of your ass for shitty internet/mobile phone service

So you've already complained to the FCC and tried a VPN?
>>51875666
Already complained to FCC last week, and asked in this thread if a VPN would help in any way and received no answer.
Change your pass word to your router
change password to wifi
only register MAC addresses of devices you want to connect to wifi.
you got letters saying you illegally downloaded something. someone is torrenting off your connection.
>>51875685
I thought this too, but nobody is on it. I don't even broadcast an SSID. I think it was just one of my friends being high/drunk and torrenting some spongebob.

My apologies, I didn't realize that was you, I thought it was someone else.
Why don't you try a VPN?
Also, you realize it'll take longer to get results from the FCC, right? You're being impatient. According to another person in this thread, complaining to the FCC got their ISP to cease throttling and increase their plan at no additional cost. You should have waited things out to see what happened.
There you go again being a dick, I'm literally still trying to help, even after you've been a complete ass hole to me and you continue to be a prick. What's wrong with you?
I get 300 kb/s and can do all of that fine
>>51875736
I don't know much about them and have no experience but am planning on it now since they will just see data and not "OMG HES ON NETFLIX THROTTLE HIM LOL".
sorry bb <3
>>51875755
At the same time? He's having a problem multitasking, not preforming the tasks individually.
>>51875766
Why would you be watching netflix and youtube at the same time whilst also playing a game?
480p videos buffer fine while downloading steam games
>>51875762
I still think there's an issue somewhere else. Even if they're throttling you, Netflix should work flawlessly since they literally have Netflix servers connected to their backbone.
Didn't you mention you're having trouble gaming as well? What is your ping like?
Post speed tests from speedtest.net and speedof.me.
>>51875798
Have you not read through the thread?
THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN HIS HOUSE!
>>51875817
Ok?
He also said he's getting 3 MB/s which is 10 times more than what I get.
>>51875561
Dude fuck that guy.
You re being fucked over end of story. I pay for 80. With my hardware I get 20. I love in an area completely supplied by comcast and at all hours of the day I get 100+ speeds. This fuckwit has no idea what he is talking about or is trolling. Talk to comcast to get unthrottled. If they won't do it than leave them. If that can't be done just work on your hardware. Because it really sounds like for shit is fucked.
>>51875707
change your passwords man.
>>51875804
Normal pings in all games.
I'd post a test but I'm not at home, but I can tell you that both say 33.3Mb/s down and 14Mb/s-ish up.
>>51875847
This, I regularly get far more than I pay for.... so I end up using a lot of data, then apparently thats led to the throttle.
Only other option is centurylink that has crap speeds.

That means absolutely nothing.
>>51875198
Then what happened? Did a fucking fairy download that shit?
>>51875182
Data Caps/Throttling/Giving a shit about torrenting is only an issue on the biggest carriers like Comcast, AT&T and such. If you've got a 'small town' provider like Bright House here in Central FL, no caps and complete indifference to what you download.

youre right, however, the problem is wireless network configuration. probably these kids have like 25 wifi enabled devices all running all day long. probably router needs a reset. probably really bad utilization of available channels. probably in an apt building with 200 ssids broadcasting full strength many with the same default config.
