I've been having problems with my internet for neer 2 years. I moved down here and I could only find 2 internet providers, AT&T DSL and Suddenlink Cable. Both have internet issues.
For one AT&T speeds start to slow and fluctuate very bad. The line chart from Task Manager looks like mountains rather then a dirt road "which is better" and sometimes tham "Internet light" on the modem goes from green to the red light of death and I have no internet at all and the IP support could never fix it and I had them for over a year.
Now with Suddenlink there speeds normally start to slow down at night but for the past 2 months it's random all over again like AT&T always had and sometimes the "internet light" on Suddenlink modem goes out and does a slow flash meaning no internet for you. Right now I have them for 10 months.
If your pings which at one time went over a 1000ms or do speed test that can be bad to can't test because internet is down.
Test include Speedtest.net, Pingtest and Speedof.me. Everytime I use vTrace program and do a traceroute to "any website" on the third hop it keeps going to Alaska server and I'm in Healdton OK.
Anytime you see the lights on the modem go red or out you know it's the Internet Providers and calling them about ever day and they don't know what going on.
Modem for AT&T is 3Mbs Down at times and Suddenlink is 3Mbs Down at times too. And do you think it could be BGP.
