+ - Ask Slashdot: Holding ISPs Accountable for Contracted DSL Bandwidth 2

Submitted by mcleland
mcleland writes "I'm not getting the bandwidth I paid for from my DSL connection. My "3mbps" fluctuates between about 2.7 during the day down to 0.1 or 0.2 in the evening according to speedtest.net. Let's assume DSL is the only viable option for broadband at my house and I can't really move right now (rural area, on north face of the mountain, no cable service, very poor cell coverage). This was discussed 6 years ago but I'd like to see if there are any current thoughts on whether I'm just stuck or if there is some way to make the ISP hold up it's end."

  • How old is the phone wiring in your house? A bad connection anywhere between the modem and the outside line will slow your speed drastically.

      The house is 12 years old, but good point. Since the pattern of bandwidth drop is consistently in the evening - 5 pm to 10 pm - I'm guessing a bandwidth issue somewhere in our area.

YOW!! The land of the rising SONY!!
