Anyone happen to know what's going on with Comcast in the LA area? DreamHost, my hosting provider, reports: Reduced Download Speeds Posted (December 15th, 2010 at 11:23 am PST) by Sandon We have noticed some performance issues with one of our transit providers that provide us connectivity to the internet. Speeds are significantly lower than usual but latency appears to have stayed the same. We are contacting the transit provider to troubleshoot the issue and will post updates. The reduced performance is not bad enough where it should effect regular browsing of web-sites but might be noticeable on large file downloads. Upload speeds to our network appear to be unaffected. UPDATE 6pm PST: The ticket we opened with the provider (Comcast) is being looked into, and we’re waiting to hear back from them. We’ll update this post again as soon as we get news. Was wondering if anyone here knew more. --- Andy Ringsmuth 7215 Dorchester Court Lincoln, NE 68521 (402) 304-0083 andyring@inebraska.com

[snippage] I can't share any direct light on this but can indirectly verify that something is going on. We're a regional ISP in Santa Barbara. The speedtest.net site defaults to Dreamhost in Los Angeles for our customers based on geolocation. Our support team has had complaints of poor speeds based on customers using speedtest.net. Indeed, choosing the Dreamhost default absolutely crawls. Choosing another server results in expected results. It's interesting how this type of supposedly unrelated issue can affect people who normally wouldn't notice it. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay@impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
