    Most people don't have a tester, and comcast doesn't handle that. They only have the 3 foot pre made ethernet cables.

    No (given what I do for a living, proper systems and wiring is not an issue); In my case though I was willing to concede that, so I plugged the modem straight into the network interface on the outside of my house and disconnected the rest. Problem continued, and they still tried to tell me it was my fault/issue despite being able to point to *their* shit wiring job visible from the f'n street. I'm in the middle of Denver suburbia, so the area signal should be fine here.

    I know some people are unbelievably stupid when it comes to hooking up their computer equipment, but I've been in telecommunications and network engineering for almost 15 years now and know a thing or two about the topic; to be treated like some total idiot and get jerked around because of sheer apathy on their part isn't just offensive, it tells me they don't give crap one about my business. That's fine though, I don't feel any need to continue giving it to them.

    Nice Dr. FWD.
    Here is about as good as I get.

    If I could use my full bandwidth potential I would but they have a cap set at 250 gbs a month and some months I come close. I don't want that kind of red flag shot up around me.

    I'm with you all the way but did you really have to bring me into this? lol. J/K On another subject why does Beotch always bust my balls for asking tech advice? Is that a no no on your site? I'll stop if it is.

    I dont know you so I am not saying its "you", but IT and tech guys are the worst at fucking shit up (almost as bad as electricians)! There is so much involved in hooking 2 pieces of cable together it is ridiculous. I do realize there is cable guys that cant do it correctly and that cant troubleshoot problems correctly also. Electricians and IT guys will put bad fittings on unshielded cheap cable and hook it together with a super duper high dollar splitter from home depot and think its perfect. Then they wont let the cable guy even inspect it when he is there on a service call. What they don't know is they scored the center conductor when they used that POS wire stripper, the fitting isn't on properly, the cable is crap and the splitter is junk. All they are doing is losing to much signal and allowing so much ingress onto the system that nothing works right. There TV's tile, the digital boxes dont work right and there modem is constantly dropping off line.

    So if you do your own wireing I am sure you have a meter to check signal level both upstream and downstream, ingress, MER and BER right rforsythe? About 90% of the time the problem is coming from the house wiring.



    Stuart what kind of modem do you have, is it a Scientific Atlanta, Cisco or teryan (I dont know the correct spelling right now)?
