Re: Frequent Disconnects 6/28 Illinois?
Same issue in Barrington, IL area for the last two days. Frequent disconex requiring cold restart of the modem. No problem with Comcast cable, just internet. Comcast HSI usually rock solid in our area. |

| We had an outage for about 5 hours on Wednesday and now my Powerboost is lame. I cap out at 21mbps and upload caps at 4mbps. Previously, Powerboost would give me 50/10 temporarily 
I subscribe to the 16/2 tier and was used to the way Powerboost was working. I hate when they give us something and then take it away. It sucks. Comcast, you suck |

1 edit | I think in another post you said you had a 6120? Is it bonding multiple channels? I remember seeing posts where it would sometimes not bond after a signal loss.
That said, they are cracking down on the powerboost. I just have a plain 5120, and for awhile when D3 was being set up, I would get crazy speeds of 30/8 or so. Downstream is now limited to 15-16 (I have the standard 12/2 tier). I just did a quick test, and got 7M upload, and that's on a 2.56MSym/sec data rate. |

| Yep, 6120. It is bonding four channels for the downstream.
That's too bad they are cracking down on powerboost. I know it was just a bad gimmick, but the quick short download burst was nice and it seems I have been spoiled by it. Still 16mbps is nice and I would be plenty happy with 12mbps. I, like many others would like to see at least 5mbps up sustained.
I cleared my modem again and now there is nothing in the log. Nothing at all . I don't know what Comcast has done, but I don't like it at all. |
