<title>[Connectivity] comcast vs fios Cherry Hill NJ</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23304958</link>
<description><![CDATA[    I live in Cherry Hill NJ and we have Comcast, the HDTV signal gets pixellated a lot, freezes up, the sound cuts out, we have similar issues on our standard def TV, I frequently have to reset the modem as we lose the internet signal atleast 3 times a week, the phone has a background noise as well. I mention all this because we have had these issues before and now after I was in direct communication with a higher level comcast customer exec and she sent somebody out to the house, reran all the lines (including the line between my house and the line up on the pole at the street) changed my boxes out and they did "everything". My wife works from home a few days a week and she has terrible issues with her VPN connection through our internet. I am sick of this. The only thing I can think of is the actual new line from the pole swaying in the wind, can this cause this?
  Does anybody live in our area and get their service from a street line on a pole? We have FIOS on our street but I have heard they have slower internet and have not heard anything amazing about their tv part either.
  I am looking for opinions from those who have either system. ]]></description>

<title>[Connectivity] Connectivity Problems</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23309069</link>
<description><![CDATA[Every few minutes both on my Laptop and on my Xbox I am disconnected from games, websites stop loading, and videos stop streaming, everything usually starts working again less than a minute later but it is very annoying. Most of the time the lights on the modem are all solid but sometimes the lights go off and start coming back on like I just plugged the modem back in. Modem is a Motorola SB5120. I am connected through a Linksys router, Laptop through wireless (Ethernet port broken) and xbox through Ethernet. The cable is split to go to the modem and the tv.

Here is the information it says I should post on here

<title>PIttsburg, CA lost of signal issues</title>

<description><![CDATA[This has been going on for days, it has been doing causing people headache that are two blocks from me.

A while back someone ran over a node along Leland Drive in here in Pittsburg, they took the node out and took it with them. It took almost two days to get service back up.

<title>[Connectivity] My area&#x27;s Comcast + Xbox Live = :(</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22557650</link>
<description><![CDATA[Copy and paste from the forums Comcast banned me from because I said "Comcrap":
 
I have spent a few thousand dollars on new equipment such as ethernet cables (Cat6a 550Mhz), Xbox 360s, PS3, TVs, Monitors, Routers, etc and still the problems turn on when I connect to the internet. I get the same results when directly connected to the modem as I do connected to my $200 gaming router.
 
 If any of you are experts at understanding how Xbox Live should run on one's gaming setup then you would understand that something is wrong if you were to come over here and see for yourself. I've been on Xbox Live since beta days back in 2002 and just this past year or so my internet connection has been horrible on Xbox Live. All logic from my perspective points at the connection I am getting from Comcast as the problem.
 
The main issues are: overall slowdown when connected to internet (as in EVERYTHING is slowed down), seldom get host in ANY game (despite paying for a faster upload speed on paper/pixels then the majority of Xbox Live users), when I do get host it is incredibly laggy for myself with people pausing/skipping all over the place, general lag in every game, and trouble finding matches. Yes, all while connected to Comcasts modem. I have tried the newer DOCSIS 3.0 SB6120 modem, the older SB5129, and the eMTA and get same results. Hurray...
 
All of this **bleep** highly decreases enjoyment when playing, increases frustration and has led me to seldom play X360/PS3 video games any more (because for me in order to really enjoy games today, you have to be connected to the internet).
 
This is quite a comparison to a year+ back when everything was running normal on the 'ol 8Mb/2Mb Performance Plus tier Comcast offered back then. Back in those days I would get normal lag that was caused by other players with crappy connections but there was still a normal consistent result to being connected to the internet and playing on Xbox Live. Now one could say it is inconsistently consistent.
 
All in all, these past 12-14 months have felt as if the internet connection I am getting from Comcast has been robbing me when playing online. Robbing me from a fair playing field, and robbing me from games running like normal (due to being connected to the internet connection from Comcast). Two things that no customer should have to experience for this long if any time at all.
 
So if any of you are experts in this subject please tell me why I get the above when connected to the modem.

What in this Universe could/would cause this?
 
Btw, since I have been dealing with this for months and have had little help from Comcast in actually fixing my connection issues I have decided to purchase a capture card and another monitor (I have to spend all this money myself to try and fix things...). So I can try capturing gameplay of me playing and then uploading it to youtube so everyone can see that things are not running like normal. I will be directly connected to the modem when I am able to capture.
 
Monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116400&Tpk=VX2260wm
 
Capture card: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
 
This sounds pretty similar to my situation except his is with TV instead of internet: http://forums.comcast.net/comcastsupport/board/message?board.id=CTV_Pic_Quality&thread.id=771
 
 
"If the signal strength is good, then I am obviously imagining these **bleep**ed broken channels, and am hallucinating the pixellation and audio/video dropouts on every single **bleep**ed channel. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I am disgusted with the "service" that Comcast allegedly provides. Since no one else is having a problem, and since they blindly followed a script which showed no problem, then obviously there is no problem, and any difficulty I have is my own problem."

<title>[Signals] 750ft, can it be done?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22716265</link>
<description><![CDATA[Do you think it could be done? We have a place that is about 750 feet from a cable drop. The house is in the middle of the property and its on 20 acres of land, and there is a cable drop at the back of the property. What would be the best way to approach this that won't break the bank? I haven't seen one, but I may have missed it somewhere on the internet, but is there a Coax to Fiber extender that could be used? Would RG-11 and a few amplifiers be the way to go? There is no mains power out at the drop, just at the building, so if power is required then it would need to be run out there and I would like to avoid that if possible.

I really want to know from some of the install techs about how they would approach this problem and what would be their suggestions, but any idea is welcome.
