    Wildly Inconsistant Comcast Speeds

    I used both speedtest.net and Comcast's speedtest systems. It was bad enough Netflix and MLB.TV would have issues buffering and playing crappy quality: something that shouldn't happen on a 50 Mbps line. I'm paying for 50 and should get 50 or dang close to it 24/7. :)

    Wildly Inconsistant Comcast Speeds

    The tech that came told me everything on my end looked fine. He said he had a similar complaint very recently and he would setup an Xfinity tech to check out the node and it should be fixed in the next day or two. If not call again for another appointment. Even when my speed tests were high in...

    Wildly Inconsistant Comcast Speeds

    It is based on the time of day. I got back right around 8 tonight and it's running right around 10 Mbps after being fine all afternoon. I'm going to let the tech come and I'll get explain that and they can fix it however they see fit. If I have some free time tomorrow I might even swing by the...

    Wildly Inconsistant Comcast Speeds

    I can do that. I guess in a college town they can be slammed at 11:30 PM when I was on the phone with them and at 8:00 AM when I was getting ready to get out for class. It's just odd that one minute I am getting a full 60 Mbps and the next my ping is sitting at 600 ms and download has dropped to...

    Wildly Inconsistant Comcast Speeds

    I recently transferred schools and just subscribed to Comcast's 50/10 Mbps for $29.99 deal Monday. When it works the speeds are impressive (60/13 Mbps) but they don't last. As the title says, for a bit I can be getting 60 Mbps down and for no reason I can see, my speeds drop down to under 10...

    Negear R7000 Nighthawk Quiet Hum Normal?

    I got the replacement and I can say that this has the hissing/humming/etc noise under load. Either I got two duds (possible if an entire batch was poorly made) or the sound is quite normal as said above. I did have a complete dropout on the new device. I did update the firmware to see if that...

    Negear R7000 Nighthawk Quiet Hum Normal?

    Works just fine so far, but I am going to exchange it out for a new one later this week just to be on the safe side. This thing is so much faster than their old POS. It can actually handle full Blu-ray rips to multiple clients in the house while their old one couldn't even do one. (Edit) It...

    Negear R7000 Nighthawk Quiet Hum Normal?

    Hi all, first post here :D. The title pretty much says it all. My parents just got their internet upgraded to 60Mbps (tests around the house with my Nexus 5 and the R7000 yield between 61 and 70 Mbps) and needed an upgrade on their dying WNR2000. They wanted to cheap out on a router but while I...
