Re: [VA] Trying to get a handle on HSI problems in Fairfax VA
What are you modems signal levels?
192.168.100.1 is the cable modems web interface assuming your modem has a proxy in it to support this address.
I saw 100% loss to the first network hop, is this what you generally have problems with??
How often does your problem occur?
What speeds to you get at the Washington Speakeasy.net service. www.speakeasy.net/speedtest
Did the Cox techs check the signal levels to your house?
How may splitters are before your cable modem?

| Lets go down that list.
Straight drop from ground block (thanks to the Cox tech who came out the second time).
Signals are now good (now at 0.2 dBV). Broadcast is 33dBV. The WebStar does not give me SNR levels.
The intermittent drops were more frequent (about every 2 to 3 hours) when it was a lot colder(it is now in the 40s/50 here).
Speeds now are in the thousands (3k down about 2k up).As advertised.
Reading through the faq etc it seems that the 100% packet loss on the first hop may be a deliberate setting. I was able to ping that ip, but doing 200 pings I was able to see 2 timeouts.
I guess the real question is why the smokeping gives me a high packet loss while the monitor does not and is this significant? Is the line quality test highlighting that discrepancy? |
