I was having same issues here in fisher they upgraded the cmts in mohomet to D3 and for some reason the upgrade is knocking d1 and d2 modems for a loop. I replaced my sb5101 with a sb6121 and all was fixed plus I'm bonding channels so I dont see speed drop outs like I did.

Last time I checked, they had all of our traffic rerouted to Waterloo IA so I figured something was up with the system or infrastructure here.

Doityourself @mycingular.net	Do you ever have anything positive to contribute? Bogon filtering lists are not controlled by the ISPs. All the ISPs can do is request they remove their scope from the list and go from there. What is mediacom suppose to do?

GLIMMER join:2004-01-17 Fisher, IL	First off I was trying to help the op. Second get an account before you say stuff. Third its mediacoms fault because they chose to switch IP addresses. Mediacom always does things half way.

ryamjohnson0 join:2012-09-07 Reviews: ·Mediacom	reply to GLIMMER I contacted Mediacom Support and they also suggested its a docsis 1.0 issue with my Modem (Motorola SB5101). Modem basically burns itself out. They are going to send me a test Doscis 2.0+ perhaps 3.0 and see if it makes a difference. If so I will purchase a new one myself. He (Tech) sounded pretty convinced that the old modems cant handle the lastest speed increase 15Mbps. He also stated this fixed his home connection as well.

GLIMMER join:2004-01-17 Fisher, IL	reply to ryamjohnson0 the sad thing is the sb5101 is a docsis 2 modem not a 1.0... There is a problem with channel 102 my 5101 will conect to it and it causes problem the sb6121 wont connect to that channel so all is well

ryamjohnson0 join:2012-09-07	reply to GLIMMER Good point the Motorola SB5101 is a Doscis 2.0. We'll see what happens either way.
