Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
My internet provider is charter.net. I have had intermittent issues with websites taking from 0-30 seconds to connect. Usually around 10-15 seconds when it happens. It seems like after a slow connection occurs that from then on I have no problem...till later (WTH!).
I had charter (spectrum) come out today and check things out. He looked in the junction box and found a couple of signal noise filters. He said that is the problem. He removed the filters and said connection will be much better. Said he didn't know how it was even working with the filters on.
My ISP accound connection speed is set to 100mbps. I had 30 mbps download (according to speedtest.com). Now since he fixed it my download speed is 108mbps. But wait...I still have sites taking 10 seconds or so to connect.
I plan to take my modem back tomorrow and replace it. I have done this 4 or 5 times in the past when I had issues (don't remember what). The guy said he doubts that it is the modem.
So, what do you all think causes this issue?
