You said that CL will be gone in less than a month. See if the other ISP can move you to them a little faster.

The tech comes out and speaks to my wife as I'm at the office. She not being technical just listens and relays his results. The guy didn't even troubleshoot the dropping issues. All he had to offer was "you're far from the main office so that will effect your bandwidth". BW is the least of my concerns...a stable connection is all I want at the moment. So I call the helpdesk and they determine that the technician didn't make any changes and the problems still exist. So tomorrow they're sending out another technician.

At this point I don't think they have any idea what the problem is or how to resolve it. It's been going on for well over a month and shows no signs of change. Fortunately I'll be done with this ISP in less than a month. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27708240 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:22:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27687985 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27687985 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:04:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27684769 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27684769 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:00:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27684760 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27684760 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:58:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-issues-with-Century-Link-27680506

I installed a new cable today as the problem had persisted. Of course...the problem wasn't resolved. Still dropping randomly. Anyone have any other suggestions? The computer seems to be perfectly fine otherwise. I guess I could replace the NIC but I can't imagine that's causing the problem. Anyhow any further suggestions would be much appreciated.

• Take one of you wireless machines and plug that into the cable that is in the room with the troublesome box.

• Same or did it go away?

It appears all of the wireless connections are stable. But, one hard wired connection since the hardware replacements has had issues. The issues occurred on both the Staples modem and the replacement that recently arrived from CL. SO, I know it's not the modem as it persists on numerous devices.

The issues are occurring are constant drops in connection throughout the day. It lasts for no longer than 5 seconds but it disconnects GTALK and makes me incapable of browsing if I clicked a link during the brief down time. But, it happens anywhere from 3-5 times an hour and it's a massive inconvenience. At no point do I ever see any notification of a network cable being unplugged and if I go to my NIC's lan status it says the duration of the connection is numerous days. Can that rule out a faulty cable? I'll note that I never have to do anything to restore the connection it comes back on it's own. I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas what might be causing the issue. I'm fairly confident that I can rule out the cable as well as the modem/router combo. I also cant imagine it's the service as the other machines on the network don't seem to be experiencing any issues. Any help would be appreciated.
