I'm sooo frustrated. So, my internet when I do a test for Houston, TX server, is 230 MBPS download and 12 MBPS upload. However, when I do a speed test for a seattle server (which is what SM support always tells me to do) I get 26 MBPS down and 0.30 MBPS down. WHAT THE FUCK? When I try to explain this to my ISP they are just like why would you run a speed test for a server so far away of course your numbers will be lower. But not that much lower you dumb fuck. I don't even know what to say to them about why I'm running speed tests for out of state servers. Sorry I'm just really irritated. I'm now going on 48 hours without being able to cam.

A bit of a vent although I had a good night. My vent is because I had a bad week and after chatting with a cam model I decided to change my resolution to a lower one. Yes I landed from page 2 to 3 but I made in 3 hours more than I did the whole week. Traffic was the same as it was the past days and I got to see again in my room customers I haven`t seen in months! If I didn't have notes on their profiles I wouldn't even remember them. So here I am killing my computer in 1280 and make shit and as soon as I lowered more guys chatted and old ones came back to me. Maybe it was a coincidence but I don't think so. Will test again when I come back from my days off and I hope it will be the same as today, cuz if so, fuck the 1280 and placement, I'll choose the $$$.

Can someone more technical than me explain why this would be? ^ I mean.. I thought ya know if your feed was clearer guys would spend more. Maybe their phones and computers can't handle it? Who knows. I didn the same experiment when I was having trouble getting the juice out of my computer to be able to run the broadcaster and made more money using the FMLE even though my placement took a hit..

usually their internet cant keep up with video that high bc they have a million tabs open
They browse the internet, camgirls, porn videos and its too much for them
This has been the case for a lot of guys nowadays.
Im sure someone has a more depth explanation but this is the main culprit.

Always take the $$$! May I ask what resolution you lowered to? I stream at 1280 and I'm on the first page but I struggle to make my goal.

If you go into your block list you have to make sure that the box is clicked for chat.Sometimes it is not checked and they can still come into your room if the chat one is not checked. You can either choose to block from chat or messages or both. After you check the box you then click save changes and it should work. Hope this helps.

I often see people from my blocked list come into my room, however, they never say anything and I'm pretty sure they are incapable of actually chatting. They are just still allowed to click on my room and enter but I don't think they can go private or talk or anything like that.

haven't been on sm in like a month and there's wayyyy less models online??? no complaints here, more $$$ for me but why the drop off? in november there were almost always 1500+ models online and now i often see >1000 during non-peak hours.

I suppose, I don't remember there being as big of a drop in girls online the last couple years I've been on SM but I could be wrong

It's New Year's Eve. Most guys are saving to go out. Christmas just happened and alot of guys are tapped after that. Plus there's another contest today. If there's a contest it's almost always on days the site is trying to bring in more $$ because historically their records indicate it's a shit day. When there are 1500 models on is when it's expected to be good. But, that usually results in some girls making bank and most of the rest cancel each other out- over saturation.
Not saying you won't make money. That's just my opinion, which is never popular.
I made good money just before the contest started but i totally forgot about the contest, mind u my mind is somewhere else just now LOL
Then it died simply, i was thinking while still on cam w.o realizing the time & contest "what the heck, my room was busy and now its dead all of a sudden?!", continued a bit more then i logged off to eat something & wanted to return but i just remembered of the contest and decided it's not worth to continue.
Not going to cam tonite, it's New Years Eve, i wanna rest, enjoy the evening & feel good, wish everyone a Happy new Year!! God bless!

864x480 for now.I use FMLE. I might even go lower to 640x480 for a test since I don't care anymore about placement. Will get back with news after more testing, I left to the mountains for new years other way I would test just now, I'm impatient to see if it was just a lucky day or the low res is what I need to make my goals.

Thanks! It happened again last night too!! Made almost $300. My biggest earning in a single shift EVER! WTF? I'll be back at it again this week. If it was a fluke for a few days due to the holidays then I"ll be bummed but if this is some weird "new normal"...I'll never log off again! Today should be interesting. Last night I was on the 8-10th row of the first page and I saw people doing gold shows on the 3rd and 4th...SO WEIRD! I've never seen a gold show beyond the first page. May the camming force be with us all!

I did two gold shows yesterday, but my last show didn't start because I had got disconnected. :(
Is it normal to have gold shows on SM not go through because you disconnected?
I haven't logged back on since that happened because I've been fuming at both ends

very normal. Im sorry but yeah, it can be the norm and annoying
Make sure your lights are bright enough in your room to not cause crazy bit rates causing disconnect and
RE START YOUR INTERNET BEFORE EVERY SHIFT, unplug it while doing makeup, anything. When I do this I have almost zero issues.

Edit: NVM I figured out what the issues was.

I thought it was just me having issues. It started out of nowhere. At first I thought it was because it was raining but I looked outside and the rain stopped. I restarted my computer, checked the Ethernet cable and reset my modem....still didn't fix the issue. I tested my upload speed it was like 0.91 to 1.06 when its usually around 4.0. I had to call my provider for them to reset it and that seemed to fix the issue.

But I manage to. I usually split 3 sites but I recently split like 9 sites and had a few other programs opened. The only issues I usually have is people hearing me, I'm 98% sure its the website that's causing the issue though since some people can hear me and some can't. But I just put in and order for a business plan because I want to start focusing on videos. I don't usually have problems with uploading videos but I've been trying to upload this one video for a few days and the shit still isn't uploaded. I said fuck it let me just upgrade so that I don't have to deal with this slow ass upload anymore. So bye, bye to 4 up.

I have Comcast with 20 up but it's never consistent every time I do a speed test. It's all over the place. I think it's my wires. They need to send a tech but I hate people coming to my house.
Business speed should be great. It's tax deduction so it pays for itself ;D
