For just the past 4-5 days.. only in the mornings, btwn. 6-10, it takes forever for any page to come up?!?!

Turning the modem on~off, or hitting the re-set button makes no difference..

At other times though, the pages pop-up before I can click the mouse ? ! ?

read anything on net neutrality rules you asshole?
Never had issues w Comcast until maybe 3 weeks ago(out of 5+ years). All this drama with how President Trumps admin will rule....also Time Warner merger coming up....
While 2 door2door negroes are canvassing g for FIOS, I get a lovely box from Comcast!
What’s inside? A test wireless gateway modem that can do “1gog”
That’s 50,000x faster than what I have now, according to paper inside the box.
Comcast is going to start charging more fees to thosethat stream everything like hours of Netflix, Hulu etc.
Economics 101, with prof Rustici at GMU, taught me that “free” is really the most things in life...
“Free wireless gateway” to “test market 1 gB network” will just mean higher $$$$$ over the $90 I’m paying now

Are you late paying your bill?

This is a new collections method being used on customers who are 30+ days late. When you call in to the customer service desk, your call get re-routed to my section - Collections.

Pay your bill and the problem will clear up.

any cable company goes down (for maintenance or adding lines) on occasion


your description doesn't describe enough of the problem, be more specific

is it just one computer or many that have this issue at the (house)?

is it just one website or all websites?

is your desktop slow too? or just the speed of loading "web pages"?

do you have a local network with a (vlan) or other computers?

did you double check your ISP settings are right?

do you have a slow service where if Windows 10 is updating or such just after booting, that this might consume your available bandwidth?

do you know when other members of your house are downloading media? do you have neighbors? did you lock your wifi with password protection?

mostly: if your talking about access to one site, say ffu, then don't even ask the question. it's the site that is doing it not verizon.

We get that problem from Comcast also. Usually it happens over a weekend, but it was hard to get stuff to download here on Tuesday morning.

When this happens, it may be due to a DOS hacking attack, which you can find out by checking the internet outage website for affected locations.

The other times, they are taking parts of their network down in certain areas to replace parts. Then it may go out for a couple of hours.

The maintainance activities seem to occurr overnights or on weekends.

https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s

did you watch your modem lights? (note: the lights can lie, usually don't, but keep it in mind)?

did you go to Website speed test.com to check the page your accessing? it can show you more than just the speed the website your trying to access is serving at (note many websites go down more often than ISP, and many have limits built-in to shut down connections that have lasted too long or used too much bandwidth) ?

Did you hit (assuming win10) Ctr-Alt-Esc) and watch cpu usage, disk usage, network usage? (example: huge hit on disk reads could slow down web browsing)

Did you enable cookies and set your computer's time correctly and flush your web browser's cache?

Did you wait more than 10 minutes after your computer starts (exclude the time in which win10 might be pre-loading sofware into memory or running virus scan)?

---------------


Did you know if you do pin down a regular bottleneck in bps speed that has effected you, that it is traditional for the ISP to refund part of the month's payment until they correct it or change their "promise/contract" for the next month to reflect their ability to deliver?

Hey. Maybe the problem is not in the modem? It seems to me that these days there was a great load on the servers of these sites. Although, maybe it is not so and still a problem in the optimization of these sites. There is the best path to check these sites on https://www.3magine.com/website-speed-test, because if the indicators are good, it means that the problem is in your Internet connection, and you need to contact your ISP.
