The new modem is a ZyXEL Prestige 645M-UHP. Entering 172.16.0.254 in the address bar to access modem setup, as instructed by Earthlink, first produces an hourglass, then the message "The connection has timed out The server at 172.16.0.254 is taking too long to respond." etc.
Suggestions about the reasons for either the short term of my connection's link to the internet, the its apparent instability, and my inability to access the modem setup screen will be appreciated greatly.
Connections speeds, available when there is a connection, are reported as:
dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-05-19 20:37:08 EST:
702 / 101
Your download speed : 702 kbps or 87.8 KB/sec.
That is 62.9% worse than an average user on covad.net
Your upload speed : 101 kbps or 12.7 KB/sec.
That is 74.4% worse than an average user on covad.net Covad, very courteously, has noted the speed as much lower than the nominal speed of the line as provisioned, and that they were forced to use "stability mode" in provisioning it due to line problems. The cannot, however, do anything about those line problems until Earthlink consents to give them a work order. If anyone has advice for me about how to get Earthlink to do that, I will be EXTREMELY appreciative. |
