[TriLUG] RR Woes

[Douglas Hardison]

I experienced similar problems about two months ago. I could maintain
a connection, but ping times were horrific and packet loss around 90% or so.
A tech did come to my house, and after poking around
for quite a while, he finally replaced my modem. As soon as it was
plugged in, the connection went back to normal. Granted, I did have an older
cable modem ( provided by RR ), not the Surfboard variety I see being
issued lately.  I did find it stange that this occurred immediately after a
scheduled RR maintenance window.

YES!  I HAVE LIVED THROUGH YOUR PAIN!  My particular problem turned out
to be the crimp on the coax line INSIDE my RR junction box (located
outside of the house).  The guy put a new crimp on my line and I've
been up and running great ever since.  A true layer one problem.
Hopefully your problem will be just as easy of a fix!
