basically im having lag spikes (in games youll see the ping jumping fluctuating between 80-200) in The Specialists for half life and some in hl2dm, and time outs. this happens when im web surfing and playing games.

i also checked the modems upstream bonded channels and notice it fluctuates between 49.7 to 52.9. now after putting the modem on the first spliter its dropped down to 42.7. i also called mediacom and i have had two tech visits so far (they replaced the cable and coaxial connectors) but the problem is still there.

now we are suppose ot be getting 15mbps down and 1.80mbps upload. i believe we had HD TV service with two tvs and one box (the other tv uses its built in emerson tuner....AWWWYYEEAAAH)

splitters are digital btw. i have a feeling it could be splitters....in case your wondering i believe they are....idk "commscope"? i forgot their name already.
 
+1...not quite sure what is going on here...If they changed the fittings and their db readings are right, perhaps its time for a new router?

i am having lag spikes on my internet connection when i am gaming, using team speak, and/or websurfing. i also get timeouts as well and it takes a while for the internet to come back on.

now i have tried moving the modem away from the second cable splitter to the first cable splitter and noticed that the power upstream transmit levels go from 50.9 to 42.7. as for the download, they just go a little higher (i have four channels at 40.x but they go up a little higher......)

do i have bad splitters? cable? if i remember correctly, my dad said that i lose signal strength when i add more splitters down the way.

also, i would like to point out that we have HDTV service with one HDTV box with a television on it and the other has no box since it uses its own tuner.

and the itnernet connnection is suppose to be going at 15mbps down and 1.80mbps up.

if you dont get what im saying still then tell me which part it is please! that would be rockin awesome!:rock:
 
Are you getting those speeds? I mean you say you are supposed to get them but havent said if you are or not.. test it (speedtest.net).

But really, who knows. You said you had a tech come in, were the levels up to spec? I dont recall but I thought the internet should be on the 'home run' (main) line, so any further down stream could be causing issues.

This is honestly a problem with your ISP and not sure how we can help.

the tech and even my dad (employee of mediacom) checked the line with their testers and said that the line was good. i did complain about it on their forums but that got my dad in trouble since we are actually representatives of mediacom and because they thought it was him (my nick was gameman advanced kid on their forums).

now my dad and ISP think the internet is just fine but i keep telling them that this wasnt happening before.

EDIT: and no im not getting those speeds. every time i run a speed test it jumps everywhere. usually its at 23-50mbps and the upload jumps up to 5mbps and then down to 1mbps.
 
Let me ask again... are you getting your DL/UL speeds from speedtest.net?

Have you asked to replace the router? Is your dad a tech? Can you ask him where the modem should be placed? Again too far downstream and you lose DB's and signal causing what you are seeing.

Have you replaced the modem? Router?
 
Ping your gateway / router a couple times (20 would do) and paste the output here.

It should look like this (remember I am running Linux, Windows output will be different):

20 packets transmitted, 19 received, 5% packet loss, time 19010ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.750/1.193/2.724/0.540 ms

RTTs should be similar, about a millisecond. Your packet loss should be 0% if running Ethernet (I am rocking WiFi right now, ergo I have packet loss). If you lose a lot of packets and/or your RTT to the gateway is too high, your problem might be your LAN set-up, or your cables.

i just edited my post. read it again.

yes the router has been replaced, my dad is a headend tech, he says that we can try putting it in my room since thats where the beginning of the cable starts, and they said that the DBs look fine.

seems fine. no packet loss. tried pinging my ip address and gateway for fun. seems fine....freaky.
 
so i did some online tracerts and used windows Tracert and notice that its mentioning San jose alot.

from waht i understand every time i use the trace tool, it always shows that my ip is in california.

now if i remember correctly, my dad was telling me that mediacom moved something like a router from Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angles, California.

can someone explain whats going on here?

if anyone wants to check themselves, my game server is

173.16.10.139. Port is 27015 (Server is runnning The Specialists for Half life)
 
im sorry to sound like a complaining wimp, but im getting tired of trying to convince my dad, ISP, and other family members that its the internet connection .

even with my server, every other computer off, no torrent programs running, it still does this.

help?
 
i noticed that i have great download and upload speeds but i have a bad connection when it comes to playing on game servers, using team speak, and sometimes web pages time out after some web browsing (at random).
