Re: 24 Mbps packagesaid by andy4theherd:-i was setup with a CT-5374. has anybody figured out how to bridge this thing? my previous modem was a SpeedStreem 4200. i had it bridged and let my Asus RT-N56U do all the work. Still have not figured this out (CT 5600u gbond modem). I can get to the command line no problem, and I have tried lots of configs that I have been successful with before and no luck. I cannot make this thing bridge at all. This may be some special thing I am missing to make it work with bonded lines? I have no idea. If that is the case, then it should be easily done with the 5374 on VDSL. I will try to put some steps together and post them, you can test them out. |

looks like i'll be going back to the 12/.65 package. my service was HORRIBLE last night. i tried watching an instant video on Amazon Prime last night and was only getting a 300kb/s "very low" connection. it would also stop and buffer several times. with my previous 12/.65 package i NEVER in 4 years had a problem with Amazon. my speed tests were pretty terrible until around 11pm last night which has been the norm even with the lower package since this past Summer. just after 11pm as if someone at Windstream turned up the power i was getting 17Mbps on every test. first thing this morning i was only getting 12-14Mbps. i normally get 12-13Mbps during the daytime so the only gain i have with the 24/4 package is a steady 1Mbps upload speed. i am going to try running the CAT3 cable and see if that makes any difference. i'm certain it will not since i am 4700 out and the max listed for VDSL2 is 3500... |

You might consider going to the 12/2 instead if they offer it in your area. In my case it was only going to be $3 more than the 12/.7 package, and you'd have the faster upload speed at least. Just a thought... |

Andy, it really seems like we have similar issues. I am working from home today, and it was mostly fine all morning, but just now my streaming music started buffering, and I can't maintain my VPN connection to the office anymore. About 7-8% packet loss again to my first hop. Has been going on for about 15 minutes now. Speeds have been all over the place since I got the 24 service, and I never once had a problem with the 12 Mb service getting full speed. Now most of the time I get less than 12 Mb. I don't know if Ashland's bandwidth runs through Lexington, but it sure seems like we are affected by the same type of issues. |

192.168.254.254. Username and password both admin. -> Advanced Setup -> WAN Service -> Check remove on ppp0 and ppp1 and then hit remove. Add the first atm0/(4_0_35) then hit next. Select Bridging then hit next, apply/save. Repeat steps for ptm0/(4_0_1). Use the Gb ETH port on back. Be sure to disable wireless or turn it off on front of the modem. This is good for CT-5374 and CT-5600u and CT-3600u. |

thanks for the info NcDslTech!! gonna give it a try this evening.
i swapped out my old phone line with CAT3. i'm not sure if it should make a difference in my SNR or just overall stability.
my stats with the new cable are just about identical to the old one: Downstream Upstream PhyR Status: Off Off Line Coding(Trellis): On On SNR Margin (dB): 8.6 8.0 Attenuation (dB): 0.0 0.0 Output Power (dBm): 15.8 10.4 Attainable Rate (Kbps): 21440 1062
my service has been smoking today though. hopefully it will maintain once the clock strikes 6pm... |

like clockwork my service went to crap this evening. scoring 3Mbps down across most "test" sites, however, i'm only getting around 400kbps on Amazon and can not watch a show in 720p... Youtube is like a slideshow set on a 5 second delay......
gonna return this modem tomorrow and go back to my 12/.65 service. if it is still having the 6pm-11pm problems i'll call Time Warner on Monday. i've had Windstream for 4 years and until this Summer it was flawless................. |

tried this with the CT-5374 and an Asus RT-N56U
i get an IP address from Windstream but keep getting DNS errors on any website. i initially had selected to obtain the DNS server automatically with no luck. i also tried manually entering Googles with no luck either. |

Have tried pinging the Google DNS servers you're using the -t switch? If you're getting frequent timeouts then I would rattle the crap out of WS's cage. If you're not getting timeouts, then use nslookup and try issuing "nslookup astonmartin.com 8.8.4.4" and make sure resolves back to 193.67.164.68. That way you can verify that its actually getting a reply from Google. |
