Hello!
I've had Cavtel for a couple months now and have been tracking down a problem since i got them - i'm getting so close! But I'd really appreciate it if someone could try this experiment and tell me their results
the experimentCould you please try FTP'ing (upload) a 10 meg or so file to any server and watch your connection?
thanks you!
the situationI get about 90K (720kbs right?) upload so after about 20-25 seconds, my connection completely drops everytime, no exceptions. it times out and reconnects at 1/2 speed, then continuously drops/reconnects until about 8Megs into it, it just gives up. this makes working from home impossible now.
I thought it was just FTP traffic until i noticed in my Skype logs that my connection was dropping at 14 minutes x seconds
every conversation! so i got a traffic analyzer and noticed that at, or about, 2Meg have been uploaded i lose my connection. the way it reconnects at 1/2 speed, then drops at shorter and shorter intervals makes me suspicious that some buffer somewhere is filling up and not emptying. i've tried with/without firewalls/router, different operating systems, network cards, computers and finally ended rewiring my entire house (which incidently improved my connection speed tremendously)!
if someone could please post their results i'd really appreciate it - i need to find out if it's just my connection or other Cavtel customers!
