For what its worth, I have seen a few occasions before the Saturday outage that the DS lamp was amber instead of the usual Green. rebooting the CM came back ok. Since the Saturday outage watching the cable modem boot in the following sequence.
Power - Solid DS - Flashing Green DS - Solid Green US - Flashing Green US - Solid Green Online - Flashing Green. Online & DS STATIC ORANGE - for 1-2 seconds DS - Solid Green Online - Solid Green
Link light begins to flash. And the modem comes online.
This is NOT a local issue but what the cable modem is getting from the head end.
Spent an half hour on with Technical Support (sic) yesterday evening who could not give me a straight answer as to what the cause of the problem was, is and continues to be.
It was claimed that a ticket had been raised with a higher level teir to investigate but could not get a ticket. when asked as to what the SLA ( service level agreement) i was told that he hadnt raised the ticket yet and couldnt give me a number.
i am now going to spend my 5th consecutive night on the phone to be fed more BS.
No one is helping, no one, is telling me the reason why my $65 dollar a month service is poor, no one is managing my expectations and because I am an informed customer I am quickly learning that simply no one simply cares.
