Re: Start Communications What has been really great about switching over is that I was able to plug in the new modem, and seamlessly begin using the Start service. No network interruption and no lost calls over my voip = happy wife |

From the Diagnostics Page, does the below give you the profile? Just thought I'd point out that your power levels are a bit high and that error correction is kicking in on your connection. Not only do you want it between -10 and +10 to be ideal (spec is -15 to +15, once you get beyond them you'll start losing sync), but you also want the power level to be within +/- 2 for each channel. You might be fine and not run into any issues as your SNR looks good, but this is something you might want to keep in mind if you do run into issues in the future.
If it were me, I'd check the quality of the line coming in and see if there are any splitters where they shouldn't be. If everything otherwise looks good, I'd be on the horn over the disparity between the channel 1 and 2-4 power levels as that indicates something far more weird going on with your line rather than just the signal being too loud. |

And that's not just Start either - no cable provider does static for residential that I'm aware of.
Business cable, yes. Cha-ching.

Easy solution for static IP. Get a basic VPS server for about $10/month. Set up a VPN bridge between the two, have your home connect to the VPS since the VPS ip doesn't change.
Your VPS IP is now your static IP address. |

To complete my report on this migration over from Cogeco, I can say I have been very pleased. While I was already on the Start service with the rental modem well before the cutover date, I ended up purchasing a Cisco DPC3000 modem on ebay. Within 3 hours of calling in the new MAC address, my new modem was plugged in and working with the promised up and down speeds. The difference is noticeable and for anyone on the fence about service interruption etc., there really isn't anything to worry about. |

| Why would you want that? Just get cable if you want speed. |
