Is BH deploying more than 8 DS channels? I just got channels 7 and 8 this last week, wasn't sure if more are active yet or not.
Signal levels improved after that also. Looking forward to this change. The monster gateway I have now is 4x the sb6183! |

On the phone now with BH...should have talked to gary. 3 transfers, 45 min on the phone only to be told it isn't supported. Made him search how I did and he says oh I see it there...
And that's where I am now. The music is making me sleepy... |

For any layman, not technically savvy with forum, twitter etc, relying on phone support its a nightmare. The lobbies are equally bad too. Brighthouse need to invest more in training and quality of customer service. It was best in the past but thats not the case now. I 'm not thread crapping but this is becoming fact now a days. |

Well, I can say Gary tried his best with me. After talking to the Advanced Services dept, I had a guy attepmt to provision my modem without success. It would sync to both the downstream and upstream channels without issues, but it would not connect to the internet. I message Gary last night and he got to me this afternoon. He spent well over an hour with me trying everything he could. It ended up being a bad modem. I went to Bestbuy again tonight and got the last one there again. Must have been lucky again. I called advanced services again and I was able to talk to a nice fellow, not too talkative during the process. I only waited on hold about 1-2 minutes before speaking with him this time since i had gotten the dept number yesterday. I spent a total of 16 and a half minutes on the line this time. Rebooted my router, boom internet was working. Tried signal level page in Chrome, wouldn't load at 192.168.100.1 . Tried in IE, came up fine. Downloaded an addon to change the user agent in Chrome called User-Agent Switcher for Chrome. Fixed. Signal levels look good. I don't know if this is the latest firmware, but it works so far! Thanks! |

Good deal...when your modem hit our network the firmware was installed that works best for us...you are good to go. Please post your new modem MAC in your original direct post so I can take a final look. |
