Comcrap keeps loosing connection

[Frankthetank1]

For the past few weeks i have to power cycle in order to get my connection back. anyone know of a fix for this? I know they are limiting peoples download to 250 gigs but i don't think that's the problem.

[phrenzy]

um... call them......

[Frankthetank1]

i did they.. i went online they said there was a problem with my modem and they fixed it. but they keep saying that every time.

Do you use a router? Some routers can get overheated from persistent connections, and have to be power cycled so they function again.

[Frankthetank1]

no router at all.

if ya got a friend close by try their modem..... I had kinda the problem and just bought a new modem. Amazing how cheaper they have gotten since i bought the first one..... Now i stay connected and my d/l speed jumped up alot too.... Appraently my old ass modem was 10/100 now i got 100/100....


Scientific Atlanta..... Its about half the size of my last one.......I too had a surfboard modem...

I also have an old ass modem its a surfboard SB100. What kind did you get and where did you get it? I dont want to buy it off comcrap.

Call them and ask what models are supported. Any cable modem should do though. With comcap, if you dont buy it yourself, its like 5 bucks a month to 'rent'.

Buy a SB5100 series. You can get one used for around $50. That should fix your problem.

I would get a 5120 since it has extra memory and won't suffer the buffer issues associated with torrenting.

ya i have a 5100

The Cox cable guy said that cox is phasing out the surfboards because of issues.....May be a bad splitter, small cut in the cable... keep bitching and a guy will come out... The new modem i got was about 40 bucks... You can also go to dslreports.com, they got a forum based on ISP's and some tech people on there can help to..
