<title>Woes in 06840</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23288891</link>
<description><![CDATA[Wasn't uncommon for me to achieve download speeds of 30Mbps and upload speeds slightly north of 5Mbps.  However, during the past few weeks speeds have dropped significantly.  Download speeds range from 15Mbps to around 25Mbps.  Upload speeds are horrible, often less than 1Mbps:
  

Ran a ping test:
  

Downstream:
S/N Ratio - 36dB
Power - 6dBmV
Freq - 609000000 Hz 

Upstream:
Power - 41 dBmV
Upstream Mod  - [1] QPSK [3] 16QAM [2] 64QAM
Freq - 22500000 Hz 

Any insight/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>[OOL] Keep losing DNS??</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305402</link>
<description><![CDATA[Only when I am actively online, I keep losing DNS, and eventually the internet.  Happens every 15-60 minutes. First error in event viewer is:

"Name resolution for the name www.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."

Switched from Auto DNS settings to OOL DNS settings to OpenDNS settings.  Same all around.

Started after I upgraded Motherboard software EVGA 680i LT to new Win 7 version (I am running Win 7 64 bit RC), which I then rolled back.

<description><![CDATA[Cablevision will be rolling out a web based DVR management portal on the optimum.net home page, tentatively August 6th.  You will be able to add/edit/remove scheduled recordings, and you will also be able to delete content that is already recorded on your DVR(s).

Enjoy.]]></description>

<title>question about Boost</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23319050</link>
<description><![CDATA[so i just got Boost yesterday and ive got one problem.

i get the 32 down/5 up wired through my router and i get this consistently.  with wireless, however, i can only manage 21 down/5 up.

i seem to recall having a similar issue with Boost when i tried it several months back but i think i got slightly better wireless performance back then.

<title>[Optimum Voice] Questions about OV install</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23285555</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi!
I'm getting optimum voice this week. I just have some questions about the install and what to expect.

1. What type of modem will I get? Is it the SBV5220?

2. If it's that modem, do they include the backup battery? How long will the battery last in the event of a power outage? Does the battery only power the phone part, or will it provide power for the internet too?

3. I'm getting 2 lines installed. There's a phone jack right near where my current modem is, and it has both lines wired to it. Will they just be able to plug the modem into that after they disconnect the verizon lines from outside? Or do they need to do new wiring? The modem needs to go where the current one is, because that's where all of my network wiring meets up. 

4. How long should an install take, assuming all the current wiring is ok? 

5. Does heavy internet bandwith usage affect voice quality? Or can the modem compensate and automatically throttle for best quality?

6. Finally, I have a linksys wireless router (wrt54g v6, I believe). Will they be able to just keep this router hooked up as is?

Sorry about all of the questions, and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to help me out and answer them. It's been a while since I've had to deal with any of this stuff, so I've been a bit out of the loop on newer technology. 

Thanks again! ]]></description>

<title>Captioning on Mute Issue with the SA8300HD</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23174828</link>
<description><![CDATA[I recently made the jump to an HDTV and a HD cable box (SA8300HD) with DVR. Did the install myself using an HDMI connection between the box and the TV. Everything went smooth. However, I am having a problem in one area. I want to have closed captioning activate when I hit 'mute'. I've always had this setup on my previous TV's. I find it very useful if I have to mute the sound but want to still follow the dialogue. Before posting I searched the threads. Based on what I found I enabled the captioning and set the mute option in the cable box and not the TV. I also set the remote to control the volume and mute with the cable box and not the TV. The results are that the captioning does indeed come on when I hit the mute button but the volume does not actually mute. Nor does the remote actually control the volume. The volume graph and mute symbol do appear on the screen. 

So...My question boils down to this: How can I have the mute captioning option and have the remote actually work with the volume on my SA8300HD connected via HDMI to my HDTV???? Thanks again.]]></description>

<title>How long?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23316669</link>
<description><![CDATA[My triple play is ending next month, and I'm curious. How long must I wait before I can call to get it again if I cancel my phone and cable TV?

I was offered 92 (plus box/remote rental) for two years for just internet and Family Cable, but that's only $6.00 less than I'm paying now for all three....

Is there a period of time I must wait before I can get in on triple play for  under $100 again?
