Upload Speeds Drop At The Same Exact Time Every Night For Months
I have been dealing with an issue now for about 4 months that consists of my internet speeds dropping (mostly upstream) at the same time every night. At about 9:15 pm Central Time my upstream drops to below 1 Mbps from anywhere between 45 minutes to multiple hours. I do streaming on Twitch and spend a lot time gaming so this is my peak hour for these activities and they are greatly affected by this upstream issue. I have had around 7 techs out who have changed everything they can and have ruled out anything wrong at my tap or at my residence. I was eventually given the number to a shift supervisor that I could call when the issue was occurring where I was to leave a message with my name an number and they would look into it and get back the next day. I have stopped receiving callbacks and am at a loss as to what to do next. I have had confirmed packet loss during these periods that I see through the trace routes I run and from the supervisors I have talked to. I was also told by this supervisor and technicians that have been out that congestion should not be an issue as I am the only active subscriber on my tap so that has been all but ruled out. If anyone is willing to give me some direction or work with me I would greatly appreciate it as coming to this forums is my last ditch effort in trying to figure this issue out. Thank you so much for your time.1.6KViews1like1CommentCoaxial cable wiring resources & Question
Hi all. I'm currently staying in a home that has been in my family for a few generations. I've been encountering issues with my internet connection recently that is leading me to believe that the wiring with the coaxial cable may require inspection and adjustment. The upstream LED flashes during boot up, and the modem goes offline to reconnect after 30 minutes of connection. A look at the status page of the model display this as the upstream variables: Channel Lock Status US Channel Type Channel ID Symbol Rate Frequency Power 2 Locked ATDMA 4 5120 kSym/s 38.40 MHz 57.00 dBmV Downstream appears fine but I can provide those if helpful. The coaxial cable was installed through the crawl space of the home and as of right now I'm not clear on the layout of the wiring job. I'm willing to believe the wiring was done in an effort to quickly have it done and over with. I am nota Cox Complete Care customer and I'm not certain if the cost would be worth while to have someone come and re-work the line so I can maintain solid connect.Would anyone be able to say if paying for the service would help the issue or would it be better to do-it-myself. Also are their any solid resources available that may help me with the job of ensuring the line going to the modem is good?2.8KViews1like6Comments
