Frustrations with 6141 modem at night / peak hours - Roanoke, VA Market

To whom it may concern,

I am getting great speeds on my modem (110 - 130 mbps)  early in the morning and during the day, but at night (after about 7PM) speeds drop to around 5-15mbps. I've had several techs out to the house, they have replaced lines all the way to the street, even replaced the node at the street, but I'm still having issues.

Things seemed very promising with the last technician, but I haven't heard from him in a few days. It's very possible he might be working to fix the issue (he suspected it might be on something with the service delivered to my area, not at my house), but he had mentioned that a firmware update might prove useful. I've seen where other users have request a firmware update on this forum, could I request a firmware update? What information do I need to provide?

Thanks so much.

I've been experiencing the same issue for the past month. Have they fixed it for you yet?  I just spoke with Cox support and they said that my SB6141 is up to date. I have the SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.12-SCM00-NOSH firmware and the latest (according to Google) is SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.14-SCM01-NOSHSB_KOMODO-1.0.6.14-SCM01-NOSH.

I have not had my issue resolved yet, but e-mailing support with my account number did get my firmware upgraded. You are correct, the latest version is: Firmware Name: SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.14-SCM01-NOSH

It looks like your modem did get updated however the update you referenced primarily addresses a minor issue with upstream power levels.  Should all else fail it may be necessary for a technician to come out and troubleshoot further.

Thanks, but this isn't a wireless issue. I am on a desktop PC that is wired to the router. I've had three technicians out to the house over the last few months and they have been unable to resolve the issue.
