Re: Sucks to be at your location
I have replaced the modem already twice along the long road of troubleshooting this. I also went ahead and reran the drop to my computer room, a 50ft run of RG-6 Quadra shield coming off one leg of a two way splitter that is on the original drop from Comcast. The other leg goes to the 3 way splitter for the TV's in the house.
I have also considered it being a power problem in the house, to isolate that I have tried with the modem plugged in directly to the wall, then into a surge protector, then into a 400VA UPS followed by a 1.5 KVA UPS, then Finally into my 3 KVA UPS along with my computer. None of these power options changed the results.
I also checked for voltage on the line as I have seen that causing some people issues in the past. I came up with nothing.
Also the problem persists with the modem hooked up directly to my computer, while hooked up to my dlink router, while hooked up to my Linksys router, and where it currently sits - which is hooked up to my clarkconnect home gateway running on a Dell poweredge rack server.
In the end I have given up on comcast, I am watching verizon run FiOS in my neighborhood and across the rest of my town. I can deal with the problems until Verizon finishes deploying and goes live.
