Re: [Line Problem] Random disconnects - seemingly related to upl
Well, more info -- after my first call yesterday I was up again for a couple of hours and down when I got home from work. I was able again to observe the momentary lack of sync. I called AT&T yet again and all they can think to do is send out another tech. In a last ditch attempt, I pulled out my 2nd Arescom modem (yes, i have two of these behemoths) and plugged it in. After waiting for what seemed like an interminable amount of time and pulling the phone cord out a few times, it finally synced and has been that way for the past 13 + hours. It has endured a ~3GB torrent (up and down) and 700 MB of FTP uploads overnight and has stayed up.
I would get my hopes up, except this is exactly what happened after the tech was here on Sunday. I got about 20 hours out of that before the disconnects started again.
At this point I'm left scratching my head. My reasons for not switching to Road Runner (it's both cheaper AND faster) are looking pretty thin. I mean, who cares if they call it "High speed Online?" ("no, sir. I don't think you understand. what I want is the INTERNET, not ONLINE") |
