Usually if I'm only getting one at a time, I get along... but if it's more, or if I start downloading alot from Soulseek (or allow users to upload from me at same time) we lose our connection. Actually have to go to the modem, restart (or unplug) it and restart (or unplug) the router too. After that, our connection to the Interweb is back. Its fucking annoying as piss fuck! I love in Collingwood, 45 mins north of Barrie.

So thats the fuckin problem i've been having! Its been pissing me off for the longest time.

Do you have a linksys router?? I have the same problem, but it is not rogers that causes the problem, it is my router. It seems that once I get more than 80 connections or so it disconnects and the router resets itself. So try limiting your number of connections in your bt client.

Originally posted by NuERA is it just rogers? i am on sympatico in cambridge and i have been getting pretty slow times on 'some' torrents. i went from sometimes getting 700kb (about last year) and now i only get about 70kb on a good torrent. and some that 'should' work dont. such as chapelle show season 2...fairly popular torrent you would think... wtf!?

psh, you're lucky.

I've been capped at 35 down, 12 up for a long time. And I still have pissed them off. The last two weeks have been 10 down, 4 up, what good is highspeed if you're getting crappy speeds? Why should I pay for this level of service? Why advertise unlimited high speed access if clearly they are not providing it?

only in Aurora or Oak Ridges... pffft.


And even though I just got upgraded to 6Mbps download/800Kbps upload service... and damn, the other day I ran a test on myspeed.rogers.com, and got a 5.6Mbps download! DAMN!

As far as the BT and eMule clients go... I haven't seen any drop in service. Except for the limits I've set up on those (20KB/s up/down) since I'm only a few gigs away from my monthly cap of 100GB, and there's still more than a week of usage left... shazzzzam!
