tennesseeme Posted July 8, 2005 CID Share Posted July 8, 2005 your # 1 problem, is the fact you "BOUGHT your own modem at Circuit City" what possessed u to do such a thing. Comcast sends out the Motorola SB5120, this is SPECIFICally for comcast internet... It is also one of the top 5 modems in the US. your outlets may have splitters? you running a buncha pirated cable to other rooms? your gonna have a shit signal/noise ratio. also, some houses are installed USING splitters, they r comcast splitters, not radio shack splitters, with pertinent filtering materials. not just a bridge. (I would call for a truck, and request a homerun. Some houses that were wired for cable back in the 70's, and haven't been upgraded, don't have the cable to support the high speeds of today. This is why rather then trouble shoot over the phone, they do "truck rolls" some property managers or owners will wire the cable themselves using cheap coaxial that won't or cannot handle the 3Gigs/s that comcasts can... On demand on the fritz? Thats a sign that your splitters are being over used, it's streaming video, like watchin porn on the net... u cant split a streamed signal down.. and if lower channels are fuzzy, and on demand quits working, out goes the cable modem lights. splitters arent bad, but they do attenuate signals for certain services. ohyeah, illegal users, that wire the whole trailor park off one pole terminal, will also cause your signal to be shit, it's like a huge drain on your areas node.

tennesseeme Posted July 8, 2005 CID Share Posted July 8, 2005 several things could be going on. there could be something so simple as a nick in the line. like if the cable at the pole is older general wear and tear can cause that. if its buried and anyone has ever dug anything where its buried in the yard it could have cut a small nick in it. these things happen and can cause slow speeds. also comcast is open all the time you have connection at all times so you have to have firewall and adware and spyware because you are on an open connection. if the modem from circuit city is from a comcast rep with the comcast promo then its the right modem. there is a version of the same modem you can buy but its not provisioned specifically for comcast. since its the circuit city promo then its the right one. the best thing to do really is call tech support and let them do a truck roll if they need to. often they find simple fixes for these things. sometimes splitters can cause problems with internet if the internet connection is split. can't split the internet connection without losing speed but for professional installs the outlet is not split and most people don't split the video to use for internet.

tennesseeme Posted July 8, 2005 CID Share Posted July 8, 2005 sorry, my sister decided to read over some of the things said about comcast, she works for em, i told her to make her own profile, and besides, my fault for not locking my machine! damn i hate having the best one in the house, her and her kids use it all the time. im setting the bios password in just a brief moment, soon she'll be on her feet and in her own place. so really, hahah, it wasn't me that posted, i think my typing style can prove that!
