Comcrap (err I mean Comcast) being gay...


Recommended Posts

Up until yesterday, internet was working fine. Then today, I launched Firefox, and sites were loading alright, but then, I get some stuck at "Connecting to www.site.com..." (replace site.com with the site, obviously) for about 5 - 15 seconds, then the site loads. Then, it started not loading at all, and I ran a speed test, results came in at about 1.4 Mbps DL, 100 Kbps UL (according to SpeakEasy's speed tester). I did a few power cycles on the modem, and it didn't help. I did a few router resets, and it didn't help.

I even tried connecting the PC to the modem directly, and it didn't help (still slow).

Right now, it STILL occasionally gets stuck at "Connecting to www.site.com" for a few seconds, and site loads fast (or slow), it feels like crap.

I try going on battle.net, and it loads fine, then it gets stuck with high latency.

My PC is clean, all of my PCs are clean, I regularly update windows, scan for viruses and spyware (Ad-Aware + Symantec Anti-virus [sAV Corporate]), and I use Wireshark to look for anything using bandwidth on my end (on all of my PCs) and nothing.

What can I do?

After a few seconds, it loads instantly:

Again, I know for a fact that it has NOTHING to do with my PC.

And all of my PCs are RWIN tweaked professionally.

The only thing I'm not familiar with is the levels of power and signals on the cable modem:


Downstream  	Value

Frequency 	549000000 Hz 

Signal to Noise Ratio 	35 dB 

QAM 	QAM256

Network Access Control Object 	ON

Power Level 	-9 dBmV  

The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading

Upstream 	Value

Channel ID 	9

Frequency 	22000000 Hz

Ranging Service ID 	4334

Symbol Rate 	2.560 Msym/s

Power Level 	35 dBmV

Modem: Moterola SB5120

Cap: d11_m_sb5120_silverpboosttb25_c01.cm

Software Version: SB5120-2.19.0.10-SCM01-NOSH

Hardware Version: 4

MIB Version: II

GUI Version: 1.0

VxWorks Version: 5.4

I've uploaded a video to partially demonstrate what I'm currently experiencing (better than taking stills):

It's basically random "spikes" of slow-sh*t. As I said before, I power-cycled the modem and stuff.

Please, someone with knowledge analyze the signal levels.

Just got another spike after surfing butter smooth.

Trace complete.

can someone explain to me this weird use of the term gay? if this is comcast being merry or frivolous i would think it is a good thing. but you seem to use it in a negative context. does it upset you when people are happy?
