| [Line Problem] 2wire 1070b
Hi. I am having trouble with my 2wire 1070b modem. I just upgraded to a new computer and mow the 2wire keeps dropping the broadband signal. The broadband light blinks orange (looking for signal), then goes green for a random amount of time then seems to loos the signal again. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

Don't know.

Several times, without changes.

Express (1.5Mbps down). I just upgraded to this from Basic. I did not have this problem before I upgraded. Ahh, ok, new computer and a circuit upgrade! That makes coincidence a little less likely. 
One thing I didn't see on your report was this:
Current Noise Margin:
This FAQ shows where to find the Broadband Link Statistics. Copy/paste that info over here as well. »2 Wire »How can I tell if I have a marginal DSL line?
Edited because it's helpful to include the link when one points someone to a FAQ.  |

| Ok, you have a really low noise margin at 7dB. Once you get down that low you're on the ragged edge of maintaining your connection and it doesn't take much interference to knock you offline.
The first thing to try is to see if you can grab the same stats from the NID's test jack (if you have one). This eliminates your home's internal wiring and if the problem still exists at the NID, then it's usually AT&T's problem to fix and not something you'd have to pay for. Here's how to see if you have a NID and how to test... »AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »How to check modem stats, synch rates & speeds from test jack at the NID.
One other thing....you say you just switched to Express, the 1.5mbps down profile. Yet your modem is syncing at 6mbps down, the Elite profile! Did you really upgrade from Basic to Elite or did AT&T make a mistake? If you're supposed to be on Express, your problems might go away because the noise margin often gets better with the slower profiles, giving you some breathing room. |

@pacbell.net | I did sign up for Elite. Guess I got the numbers screwed up.
I do not have a laptop but I will try and plug into the NID.
