FUCK YOU, COMCAST!! FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING MOTHER!!!!

I can't get cable in my apartment complex, so I'm using SBC DSL and I don't have any problems. Just as fast as the Comcast cable internet at my parent's house.
 
Mine used to do that crap daily, however it was my router that was causing the issue.

I put in new firmware, and only reboot the internet about once a year now.

ours used to do the EXACT SAME THING, replaced the splitter and ran great after that...

THIS IS KEY, I was having the same problem and they came out and changed the splitter and I havent had a problem sense, and for people using WOW it is comcast they buy (rent/lease) the BW/Lines they comcast already have in place. Also if you have a router make sure its not the router check your firmware to make sure its up to date and also try connecting directly to your desktop without the router for a full day or so to see if your signal drops.

If your saying that WOW uses Comcast lines on the pole (Main line), that is 100% incorrect. WOW main lines and Comcast main lines are completely different.

Now lines inside of the house are used by all 3, Comcast, WOW and satallite.

that's why they have FREE cell time at nite, no need for typing
 
I tell you what, mine had been dropping like a bitch with golden knee pads since they did some network upgrades back in the spring. It get bounced at least once a day.

We we took a power hit 10 days ago and it cooked the old Motorola VCR sized digital box for the TV. Suddenly I wasn't getting any more drops even though I had no TV. :)

The Comcast guy came by to take a look and confrimed that the box looked like "day old toast in a toaster" hahaha. He handed me a new digital box that was about the size of cable modem. I plugged it in for the TV and I've gone six days now without a drop???? :)

Wide Open West....

I cant remember the last time mine went down...

besides disconnecting it on purpose to get my cousin off of World Of Warcraft! ;)
 
The issue is with infrastructure quality... Wide Open West was built reasonably right from the ground up... Comcast is totally pieced together from other cable companys they purchased over the years... so the technology is different from area to area (Most of Detroit still has two lines running to the box, one analog, one digital.).

The result is a network that has alot of noise on it... which is where the packet loss comes from. To get a halfway decent Comcast internet connection, you really need to have great inside wiring, which means none of the signal reducing splitters (ones that split from -7 db to -3.5 db, etc)... none of the thin shitty cable lines you buy at radio shack, etc...

I have been fighting this out in waterford now for a few weeks and finally gave up and had DSL installed... there is NO way Comcast can get my SNR within "factory" standards and cut the packet loss out...
 
I used to have problems like that with my modem. I called and compained enough to get a different modem. But it was the same model of modem. Same problems. Called more, finally got a different modem. No problems since *knock on wood*

Which one do you have now?
 
You might try the D-Link DCM 2012 I think it.... Best Buy sells it... it does better with noisy lines...
