| [TWC] diagnosing intermittent internet connection issues?I've been having intermittent internet connection issues and am struggling to diagnose them. TWC has been responsive, sending a tech out, changing out the modem, running a new line to the house, etc - but the problem persists. Given that the problem is intermittent, it never occurs while a tech is out.
I'm on the 30/5 'extreme' package using a TWC issued SB6580 modem/router. On occasion, the modem will lose connection with the 'head' and reboot. Sometimes this occurs multiple times a hour, sometimes I can go days without issue. I can't see any rhyme or reason for it.
Line stats look reasonable at:
Downstream Bonded Channels
Channel Lock Status Modulation Channel ID Frequency Power SNR Correctables Uncorrectables
1 Locked QAM256 185 543000000 Hz -0.6 dBmV 35.7 dB 910 983
2 Locked QAM256 186 549000000 Hz -0.6 dBmV 36.2 dB 572 779
3 Locked QAM256 187 555000000 Hz -0.7 dBmV 35.6 dB 333 675
4 Locked QAM256 188 561000000 Hz -0.8 dBmV 35.1 dB 270 99
and
Upstream Bonded Channels
Channel Lock Status US Channel Type Channel ID Symbol Rate Frequency Power
1 Locked TDMA and ATDMA 3 2560 Ksym/sec 38000000 Hz 39.0 dBmV
When the modem goes down, it usually logs a series of T3 and T4 timeouts. A sample of the last couple of days is posted below.
What's the best way to diagnose this? I really want to stick with cable internet as my other option is Uverse, and I really dislike the 2-wire products they force you to buy.
Thanks for the help...
