Re: [Info] Outlet usage disconnects Modem
• Signals are OK.
• Speeds are OK.
• It is possible that the heat is driving the upstream out of spec; however, I don't think this is the case here.

Ok, this is the info from that page and thanks so much.
As for the internet providor, We stopped calling them as 9/10 they say it is the pc and it needs to be reformatted or that I have a virus but that it is never thier line....
It doesnt matter if we have connected a new non used pc or several pcs to the line and gotten the same results. That is why I come here so often.  thanks.
Ok, that site did not ask me to log into anything, I have the correct info? 
PS today is one of our days with super heat outside. I will give you the results of the speed test today, looks ok i think.

Just a few simple things you might do:
Perhaps the cable modem is getting too hot due to the warmer temperatures. Or, perhaps, the power-line voltage is lower than normal.
1. Is your cable modem sitting on top of your PC or another heat source?
2. If that is not an issue, try using a fan to cool the modem.
3. Do the lights dim if an appliance is turned on? Ask the electricity provider about the incoming voltage at your home. Has it changed recently due to extra demand on the system? |

• As for the tweaks and the speed, that is all OK.
• Go to »192.168.100.1. The username is admin and the password is w2402. Post you signals.
• You have some high latency on your line and at your hop. It could be your problem or the ISPs (I see that you are in Mexico.) Ask your ISP to run a ping and line quality check and see what they have to say.
• As for the fan issue, that is not normal. Could be a grounding issue or a dozen other things. I would not not advise that you try to fix it yourself unless you are an electrician. I would ask the ISP to check the line coming into your house and make sure it is grounded properly. If that is not the issue, get an electrician to check it out.

On a added note also, I just plugged in the fan and it did not disconnect me earlier and I thought yay! but then this evening I turned it off and .. no internet.
sure don't understand the common denominator between these two things. But sure appreciate the thoughts and ideas. |

1: Downloaded DrTcp and set it up accordingly.
2: re-ran tweak test »/tweakr/block:···a=normal
3: Speed Tests from the two DIFFERENT cities nearest me are LA, Calif with 1021 kbps down and 242 kbps up
and San Fransisco with 1016kbps down and 242kbps up
(these look much better i think)
4: On the test download here I get a error message saying I have no access to this ftp server.
So I went to downloads.com here : »www.download.com/WarRock/3000-74···820.html and tried to download this game. It starts at 117kbs then drops to 55 and then slides up to 70 and stablizises in 30-45sec. This is better than yesterday though when I was trying one and it said 20. and another at 50. So is better. But I was downloading at 128 -117 alwaays before, but not now. |

Ok, Sorry. I had a emergancy here but am back. Here is the info requested sorry wasnt there earlier.
1. Tweaks test (no firewall on)»/tweakr/block:···a=normal
2. The fastest of the 3 speed tests 
Speakeasy test : 848kbps down and 242kbps up
3. A Line Quality test from here. »/testhistory/1263589/5176e
4. Internet connection is Cable and the provider cableonline.com.mx (CableMas) and the Modem is a DCP2100 scientific Atlanta Series (comes with the provider).
5. If DSL, do you use PPPoE connection software? (no idea but I dont think so)
6. N/A
7. operating system is Windows XP Home w SP2 all updates
8. I pay for 1mg service I am not sure of the conversion to kbps
9. No network.
10. no router.
11. How far you are (if using DSL) from the CO (Central Office). Keep in mind that further than 10,000 feet can significantly degrade speeds. Click here to find your distance, or simply ask your ISP" This is wire length, not mileage.
no idea. the office I pay at is aprox 5 miles away and the power pole the line is mainly connected to is 2 block away. with one line to this block with several users. Sorry is not more specific, the site link to hep with that question is currently down.
Also for added info:
Computer is 256 mg with 1.7 gz Celeron Processor HP 503n andd 40 GB HHD |
