Re: Intermittent loss of connection
FWIW, the same thing happened to me several years ago. After changing my cable modem, and still getting the same intermittent outages, I had to schedule a visit from their lineman. I told him to check everything on his side, as I had already checked everything on my side. When he checked the wire from the pole to the house, he found out that it was more than twenty years old.
Well guess what? It came back a couple of weeks ago! So I went through the motions of checking all of the connections on my end, and again, nothing was a problem. Other people on my road were also having the same problem, so me being the techie that I am, called the cable company. I told them that I thought that the concentrator might be giving up the ghost, what with all the heat, and the fact that the battery had never even been changed on the UPS in the thing, they should check it. THREE DAYS LATER, they finally send someone over who apparently changed out the concentrator, and it seems much better.
