Even though they added channels your modem and the areas modems weren't able to use all of them so the root cause of the problem was actually in your neighborhood's lines but once everyone started using them there weren't enough usable channels to provide everyone with enough bandwidth to stay at speed, as the tech said he could see the ups and downs on the whole node. Since they are able to utilize all the available channels you shouldn't have the issue anymore.<br><br>edit: I can't spell.<br><small>--]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[deepwoods posted : UPDATE: Friday morning.<br><br>SUMMARY: After installing their DOCSIS 2.0 modem (a Motorola of some flavor) ran for 30 hours without issue (averaging 15/8 speeds), and thus avoided the afternoon cratering. We did install one of their DOCSIS 3 units, and it behaved exactly like my owned one. So we installed the 2.0 to see what happens over time.<br><br>The second level tech (one step above the installer, but not into the core routers/gateways I presume) arrived this morning and he described having changed out three things upstream. <br><br>Changed: removed a 10db shunt on my physical drop as he found it was causing all sorts of "reflections" and replaced it with a three way split, with two of the drops capped off which he says imparts a smoother attenuation - (just repeating what he said folks, he appears to be pretty experienced)<br><br>The 10db was installed because my Upstream Receive Power was measuring over 12db, and apparently that is bad but no one has described how that manifests itself and it surely doesn't explain time of day cratering. The number is now almost 0, and this morning's tech says it is as close to ideal as he can make it.<br><br>Changed: two unnamed connection points/taps up the pipe. He mentioned the new ones were 1Ghz versus the 750Mb ones in place - one of you might be able to translate this? He said he was able to see the "modem signatures" of my neighborhood and we were all showing the same irregular hills and valleys. He said after he made these changes he measured and got a lot more level and less hill and valley (tech talk ha ha)<br><br><i>bobjohnson - he said these can degrade when it gets hot, is this what you alluded to in a previous reply?</i><br><br>Previously, jacked into the <i>green box</i> he was unable to login to one of the channels as I previously reported. Now he can login and said everything is pretty much on spec.<br><br>SO.....I cut over to my ARRIS 822G, the DOCSIS 3 modem. It's nearly 11:00 AM here now, so in the next 3-5 hours we will either continue to run at splendid speeds or augur in again. If we augur, I will revert to the DOCSIS 2.0 and report to the local Field Supervisor of having done so.The field tech said the trucks will roll until they figure this out. Nice people.<br><br>Speeds, for clarity - on my drop this morning...these speeds are NO DIFFERENT than I was seeing before parts were swapped, including the 10db attenuator. <i>Just for clarity, nothing has changed unless it holds these speeds ALL day.</i><br><br>DOCSIS 2 modem - ~ 15/ ~8<br>DOCSIS 3 modem - ~ 21/ ~ 35<br><br>Kinda liking what apparently is the channel bonding taking place. :-)<br><br>I'll post back after we see how it flies over the course of what historically we call the Bad Hours.<br><br>patrick]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[bobjohnson posted : Wow! Learn something new every day... I've heard of them losing a channel and dropping off but it's odd that it's at certain times of the day and not all the time. Maybe they are rotating channels at certain times of the day to adjust for usage? That would be about the only explanation for your timed issue... Hopefully, they will get everything back in order for you... ]]></description>

But for the most part it has been fixed by their DOCSIS 3 upgrades (which is not to say that some areas might not still have that problem). You might try to get Comcast to re-provision your account and make sure that you have the proper config file pushed to your modem to see if that helps.<br><br>On thing you might try is to clone the MAC address of one of your PCs into the WAN interface of your Juniper firewall (and then reboot both the modem and the firewall). That might get you a new DHCP assigned address in a different IP address block than you currently have; and that might mean different routing and better performance. I have seen that improve things on Comcast connections (but it is a long shot).<br><small>--<br><A HREF="http://nature-pics.com">We can never have enough of nature.</a><br>We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[NetFixer posted : Have you checked your Juniper firewall QoS settings?<br><br>After I migrated to Comcast from dual 3 mbps DSL circuits going through a Cisco dual WAN router, I also initially saw really crappy performance. <br><br>I checked and double checked my router/firewall settings, and everything looked as is should. I had previously setup QoS to optimize my slower DSL connections for VoiP, and after I changed the WAN settings from dual WAN PPPoE to a single WAN with DMZ for the new Comcast connection, those old QoS settings had seemingly been deleted. However, even though I could no longer see those old QoS config settings, they were still being used by the router. It took a factory default reset of the router, and manual reentry of all of my firewall rules to get proper performance with the new Comcast connection.<br><small>--<br><A HREF="http://nature-pics.com">We can never have enough of nature.</a><br>We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ExoticFish posted : You're on a low end speed package. If you've got several people using that connection isn't going to be slow. Your signal levels aren't terrible so it's not a service problem. You may want to simply move up a speed tier. <br><small>--<br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.VAJeeps.com" >www.VAJeeps.com</A></small>]]></description>
