Very annoying.
Intermittent cable issues:
Sudden loss of signal (per a call to the tech support at the cable/internet provider), "weak" signal from modem when they checked it remotely.
This is occasional...never seem to have a problem during the day (when I'm home)...but generally in the evenings...happened tonight several times (for 30 minutes to an hour each time). Was working well (no speed issues), went away from the computer for 30 minutes, then it wouldn't connect. Tried the usual (unplug cable modem, unplug wireless router, etc.) several times. The cable modem would reset itself (over the course of more than an hour). The laptop (through the wireless) has the same issues.
No visible problems with the cable service...channels are fine, on-screen guide is fine, etc.
This is fairly recent...last month or so, only noticed about 4 or 5 different days (but I'm not always on the computer).
No changes to the connections, etc.
There's a call in for a service call...but they don't know what time they will be here on the scheduled day...and I can't be home most days to sit around waiting.
Does this sound like a bad modem? Problem with the lines on their end? Problem with the splitters here in the house?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
