Still have any shirts for sale?
I watched your stream… no problem here in NNJ, Summit has fiber and I have a lovely Apple Mac Book with an Intel i7 processor and 512 M SSD and 8 Gigs of RAM. Three years old and going like blazes.
It's not a throttle issue by Comcast. It's a property management problem. Your other problem probably lies at the switch you're connected to. It's probably unmanaged, or if it's a managed switch, your property owner has that port set to not exceed a certain speed. For example it may be set to 10M instead or 1000M (1G) or even 100M. But regardless of the switch issue. If the property on pays for a 10M circuit, that's all the bandwidth the property will get (on a good day). And that will be divided by all of the other tenants who are online surfing, streaming, etc… As mentioned in another post, you can get a standalone 4G/LTE Hotspot and only use it to stream your live stuff. Or you can use something like a Cradlepoint hotspot. Good luck and keep up the good work.
I'm in Bethlehem and, although there is a monopoly here too, the population density is low enough that bandwidth is no prob. And if you need to go to Philly it's only an hour away by car.
Welcome to monopoly land in the US. as contractor of these services I can tell you, you have only two companies (usually) in every city *exceptions some areas in California that offer high speed internet services. These are AT&T and 1 cable operator per city (Comcast and Charter) Comcast offers DOCSIIS 3 but most of the bandwidth as you describe is throttled. I would recommend you keep calling them until you reach support level 4 to get the upstream you require
Talk real nice to the folks you lease the building off and I'm sure they'll accommodate you putting an optic line in. Sell it to them. "It's the future!" say. "And if I ever move on," (which you won't muhahah!) "…it'll be a big positive for getting another client!" There's always a way 🙂 And you won't have to wait, they can just print off a new agreement omitting that line and you sign it afresh 😉
Always remember what Emperor Palpatine said… "DO IT!" 😀
Your USB issue is very likely a driver issue vs. hardware. Try installing default drivers for your USB devices in Device Manager. You will likely see those missing ports come back to life. For additional USB, you are better off with a cheap PCI card…
Hey Fran! That sucks! (Live stream debacle) Kinda glad I missed it. Keep doin’ what you do – cos you does it good!
G'day, Fran! Do you mean… Scamcast!! How can you expect folks to get things done, if they've got the same unreliable service, your providing everyone else? Plus for example, pulling dirty tricks out of it’s large bag of ‘how to rip people off’ for a measly $10. There service and support is atrocious and, I must say it’s the worst cable service, anyone could ever be involved in. Cheers! 😜🙃✌🏼❤️
Totally understand what Fran is going thru. Lived in philly (probably not far from Fran) and had to jump thru the landlord/tenant battle first with Hotwire (DSL for 6 weeks), then Comcast (for 10 days), then a building sale resulted in the new landlord putting in FiOS. When FiOS first became available over in Rittenhouse Sq area, the bill for fiber to the door was $10,000 as quoted by Verzion – UNLESS the building management company brought it in and allowed each tenant to have an ONT (end point fiber box) installed for $600-odd (at which point the $10,000 was dismissed). No way, no how. As soon as our new building mgt company brought in Verizon, I had the tech at our door that day…never looked back. Too bad Fran can't get that same response from hers.
Your so beautiful 🙂
That USB hub it's a Serial Killer. Ok, sorry.
It's frustrating to have sh***y network connections nowadays 🙁 Love your videos!
You record it I'll watch it, loving the top.
Hi Fran. One solution is to tether your PC via WiFi into an LTE cell phone. If you have a decent data package, that should be functional. I do this often from within the car and it works solid. Good luck.
This is an election year. If you're tired of monopolies, try voting against against monopolies and monopolists, and since your Internet connection isn't getting the job done, put your shoes on and pound the pavement, spread the word in person and get your neighbors to do the same. Unless you've been living under a rock, you should know that this might be your last chance to participate in a fair election at all in this country. Freedom is earned, not inherited.
Where I live, Comcast is the monopoly cable company but hardly the monopoly broadband supplier. They had the best data rates in town, but because people are lazy and don't bother to comparison shop, Comcast gets away with being lazy and abusive to its customers when it comes to data. They can't afford to do that with their TV signal because people will drop them like a hot rock and have Dish or Directv (AT&T) replacing them the next day. There are several broadband alternatives here, but for some reason most people just don't bother to shop. When Comcast decided that they couldn't be bothered to fix the network problems in my area, I gave them fair warning and went with the local ILEC, that offers a 40 Mbps bonded DSL product far more reliable and with performance that beats Comcast's claimed 250 Mbps in the real world. While Comcast is rigged to make big numbers on "speed test" apps, throttling of TCP traffic and delaying crucial things like DNS lookups make real-world performance dismal.
Don't you have POTS phone lines running into your apartment? Those are utility lines, and permissible under your lease. You didn't just roll over and let Verizon rip them out and not replace them with fiber, did you? If you did, that's your bad. Back when "the phone company" was given all of those public rights-of-way, the contract was that they would bring telephone service to your apartment in perpetuity. If you let Verizon just keep those rights-of way while taking away a service, and not standing up for your rights, or even lifting a finger in protest, you really shouldn't be surprised that you're in the situation that you're in now. People like Thomas Carter and Jack Goeken worked long and hard so people like you could have a choice of the services that come through that public-funded local loop. If you squandered all that, that's on you.
