Apparently the modem was indeed the issue this time around... --Previous Message-- : I have also found on occassion that : the cable modem can be an issue. : Sometimes cable companies will : give you some cheesy off brand : that was cheap to them but you are : better off getting a good brand : name like a Motorola Surfboard. I : too have had good success for a : number of years with cable modem : service, even in podunk : southwestern VA where not much : else worked as reliably. : : --Previous Message-- : Maybe it is a local thing. The big : problem is not so much the long : outages but the perpetual short : ones (even though last night's : post was about a longer one). Many : times they're a minute or less, : but they happen all the time : (multiple times a day) and they're : just long enough to drop the VPN : connection Mark uses for work, : etc. Our DSL was never that flaky. : : --Previous Message-- : Something must be wrong with the : infrastructure in your area. I've : had internet via cable in : Charlotte, Raleigh, and now : Schenectady and it's rock-solid : reliable. The longest outage I've : ever had was from an ice storm in : Raleigh - so I'd guess over 6.5 : years - maybe a total of 3 days : outage. : : : : :
