THE URBANE LOBBY

the virtual gathering spot for residents of urbane apartments

Has anybody noticed that the Latency on the WiFi at Urbane on Crooks-South is terrible? I mean, on some days, it's fast, responsive and I can multi-task with ease; exactly what WiFi over a Cable Internet Connection should allow. Then there are alot of times when it is sooooo sloooooow. I test the latency on www.speedtest.net and during the worst times, we were getting latency times of over 600ms with a download speed of 0.50 to 2.5mbs! Normal latency for a WiFi cable connection should be 20-40ms with download speeds of around 15-30Mbs. I know that the WiFi is free, but I mean, it's 2010. I shouldn't have to put up with slower than dial-up speeds.... Free or not.

Hi Eric,
We're having similar wifi issues here at Urbane on Thirteen (building 4316). Could we have this looked at also? Basically it's the same problem Rob is having. Okay connection sometimes but terribly slow at other times.

Eric,
Yes, I believe that it is fixed. I noticed that the connection, as of late, has been very stable and smooth. Thanks for the quick action, I appreciate it greatly!

The wifi on Thirteen is choppy. Sometimes it runs very smoothly and sometimes it does not work at all. I'm in building 4312 and would appreciate this being looked at as well.

Thanks.
We also seem to be having similar problems at Urbane on Maple, at least I do at the front of the building. I only have connection on a semi-regular basis when I sitting in the southern -most rooms of my apartment. If I go to either of my bedrooms, I have 1 bar, and I often lose connection. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever experienced those "fast" days Rob speaks of...
Hi Heather,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will have IT take a look early next week,

wifi on thirteen (4312) Is not working today.
wifi on Thirteen (4312) has not been working for a week now. Please do something about it.
I have also noticed at the North Main location it is pretty bad. Sometimes I can't even get a connection. The connection will be poor to fair on most days and disconnects most of the time. I can hardly even open Google!

INTERNET SOUTH CROOKS - DOWN FOR MONTHS!

Still no internet on the far side of the South Crooks apartments... I've called, submitted online service requests, left messages, called Eric and text Eric... Nothing.  This is seriously disappointing.  The amenity is great if it works, but honestly i'm getting pretty fed up with the lack of response.See More

free internet

The internet at urbane on adams hasn't worked in months. When I talked to urbane they say they have sent someone out to fix it, yet I and other tenants still haven't had internet. I understand internet can go in and out at times, but why advertise that the buildings have free internet if it never works. Starbucks offers free internet and it always works and that's where I've been going to do my work...
