[Asterisk-Users] Optimum online-upload throttling confirmed.

[gw at adcomcorp.com]

Been there, done that...

I was talking to a high level tech for an hour...

Basically, they calculate the need for throttle based on the length of
time a modem is busy, not the amount of data that is transferred.

So for example, asterisk not involved, If I view an axis camera feed
remotely, after about 2 minutes the entire network lags.  Even though
it's only going 10-20k/second, it's the constant traffic that does it.

It's a cable thing, probably since they have so many modems up on their
nodes now... A year ago the node was nice and empty...

Regards,
Greg

You might try traffic shaping before going to your ISP. Being that ping
is erratic though, is evidence that it may not help.

I believe LARTC has some information for you there.
