Verizon rate limits during office hours. NH here.
After 5pm, the speed comes back to 200kbps.
Yesterday, rate limit was not so bad. Today the
shaping interval is 1 second (rending interactive
apps useless) and shaping rate goes to
only a handful of characters come per second. 30-40
lines of route takes 1 minute to dump.
I don't know if that applies to all TCP connections.
They inspect TCP idle and sends FIN at 2 minute
timeout. I had to use ssh client's keepalive.
Don't know if they can let me call them and change
the shaping rate. The shaping is very artificial.
Not randomly slowed down thing as traffic jam.
You can see the burst of about 10 characters every 1
second.
I ordered cable tv and cable internet. Need to
wait for 6 days for installation. Only 26 days left
to the lab. I am still making progress investigating
if mst cost tuning is inherited from pvst
automatically.
If the rate is so low again tomorrow, I will early
terminate the contract and my EVDO days will be
over.
