Intermittent connectivity in Tulsa

Hi all, since last Sunday's storm, I am getting constant drops in connectivity.  

Modem is SB6190.  It was provisioned in January and was working ok.  I don't believe anything has changed on my end.  No splitter used in modem connection.

    Looks like noise/ingress in the 900Mhz range, probably from cellular. My guess is damage to the lines out on the street from the storm. I would give it a few days and then call in to schedule a technician. They are probably crazy busy right now.

    Does it still show as a outage when you sign into Cox.com? Any obvious damage to the line going from the street to your house?

      Thanks for the reply.  Last reported outage from Cox in my area was either Mon or Tue.   As of about 1pm today, the connection has stabilized (no more lost packets).  Had to do a reboot...connection was totally lost.  I tried for days to get Cox to confirm there was a connectivity issue but you know how that goes. Whatever they fixed/remedied was a covert op.

        Glad it worked itself out. I kind of had a feeling it would in a couple of days. Let us know if the problem returns.

      900mhz could ALSO be a very old cordless phone, 2 way communications/ some of the older wireless headsets.

        I doubt it's local/nearby ingress considering OP said nothing on their side changed and they just had a huge storm. Also considering we had another post mentioning disconnects in Tulsa I think they have an area wide issue. See post here and here. For every post we see I guess the call centers see 100+ calls.
