I needed to find a way to monitor my network speed on an ongoing basis. Eventually the problem was resolved by swapping out my ancient cable modem, but I wanted to make sure that I was aware of network problems when they started occurring. What was worse is that the problem was intermittent so even when I thought it was “fixed” the problem reoccurred. The problem is, I didn’t really have any idea when my network bandwidth started to deteriorate. After passing through the VRU gauntlet (don’t get me started!) I finally got to a support rep that asked me that question. When that didn’t help, I gritted my teeth and called support at Spectrum Cable. So when I noticed my network speed slowing to a crawl, I immediately did a few diagnostic tasks like rebooting my cable modem.
Like everybody else, I am conducting almost all my activities over the Internet these days. This was one of the first questions the cable support rep asked me when I called to report slow Internet speeds.
