 Gixxer join:2008-08-27 St Catharines, ON kudos:3 | I thought power levels in the negatives were bad? I've had Cogeco install in 1998, could be one of the splitters in the box outside is gone bad? -- I love fish sticks. I love putting fish sticks in my mouth. |

 roccaStart.caPremium join:2008-11-16 London, ON kudos:11 | The RX levels should be between -11 and +11 so yours are great. I noticed you had posted previously about the same issue with Cogeco, if that's the case then it sounds like an issue in your node? |

| reply to Gixxer I see, that's fine then! It seems to happen every summer, modem will reset itself maybe a dozen times / week then just stop. Most of the people around my area have bell. Ah well, it fixed itself this morning and seems to be fine now. -- I love fish sticks. I love putting fish sticks in my mouth. |

Never had speed problems with Cogeco. Going to call in tomorrow.

| reply to Gixxer Considering you are a inet only customer, I think your levels look a little low. Considering your having intermittent speed issues and as far as Start knows there's no other issues on Cogecos plant, i'd wager a guess theres something afoul with your connectorization or the coax run to the demarc/tap/panel has corrosion/water damage. |

Called in, support was very friendly, ran a bunch of tests and escalated the issue.
