said by Innov8:Folks exactly the same bad nagging performance experience and associated mis-handling of fundamental issues. Search for "charles lidstone" on Google and he is near U of T also posts here. Very wonderful gentleman. Well educated and helpful. If you are physically close to be able to see him you will be pleasantly surprised to see him. He may be able to give you ideas and check things out with hardware/modem/etc.
The issue generally is Carriers trying to be too cute and throwing out implementations of dubious value (4 channel upstream bonding for 1 Mb/s service). As described in this thread finicky plant. Even when one channel has minor transient issues all the Upstream goes in limbo and dies bringing down the Downstream 4 bonded channels with it. A reboot follows till one of the Upstream bonded channels again goes into the "Aborted" or "continue" mode and all four channels in upstream bonding go down one at a time like house of cards again. Story repeats based on what you had for breakfast or how much you curse the duopoly.
Good luck.
Thank you! Your explanation exactly what happens to me, once one or 2 channels abort, the modem doesn't know what to do! According to a Teksavvy Tech on direct forums that's perfectly fine, no trouble at all! been well over a month, maybe two of trying to get this escalated, they simply refusing to, i just don't get it. the regular BS about we e-mailed rogers and rogers says modem fine and online getting old. Hopefully 8th time the charm and something will get done this time.
