Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've had Comcast out many times for exactly the same issue as DOC posted (the hard rests). Comcast has done all the wiring. Each time a different tech finds a different "problem" and I get reliable service for about 4 days, then it craps out again.

Second test.
I usually test it from the modem directly. But it test out the same if I go through the router or wifi. I did pull my own cable and I thought it was cat 6 and I got ripped because its just cat5e. Now that I know what I'm doing ~ I'm going to pull fiber all the way up to the desktop. Talk about future proof (and the insane speed isn't bad either)!!
ETA: Cat5e is the most popular standard and supports high speeds. Nothing wrong with it.

I just have Comcast Internet and watch Hulu or download shows. It's less of a hassle to only have to call them every 6 months to get a 30-40 dollar rate decrease.
That is about average. Is it showing any resets/lost syncs or t3 timeouts in your modems gui? Having to reset the router/ modem is caused by the router a lot of times. If your not getting modem resets/lost syncs trash the router. I have seen the best routers less then a year old take a shit and start dropping the connection. If your cat 5/6 cable terminations are questionable at all I would redo them.Originally Posted by DOC

Well going back to 1970 (according to the time stamp) I'm getting those but I don't know what it means?

Surprised nobody has mentioned switching to Dish Network. I used to have their service but moved and my cable is Comcast, but it came with the apartment. As far as keeping the snow off the dish, I was told by a Dish network guy to spray Pam cooking oil on it, the snow will just slide off after that. Worked for me anyway.
I would set up a service call and tell them its an on going problem and that you have T3 timeouts.
These speeds make me jealous. I can't get better than 3Mbit in Pueblo West.

H.
Try that speed test

It is important to remember that the number of stations on YOUR network will affect the speeds as well as the number customers and the number of machines on Their Networks.
Then you have Network appliances and all of their Quirks and issues.
for example. I run a firewall on a *Nix Platform.
Machines on the "outside" of this firewall are just rocking along
Machines on the inside are a bit slower.
My Firewall starts downloading Patches and updates
it is important to note that MOST residential consumers never use 50% of the bandwidth that they pay for.
Just as an example.
are you aware that A High Quality VoIP Call uses less than a MB?
It's been my experience that what most customers refer to as Poor network service is usually an overworked router somewhere, or a overworked Server.
Its amazing how quickly people call for repairs when they aren't footing the bill.
Helpdesk: People are saying the Email server is slow, they want you to look at the network.
Me: ??? looks at watch.. 0912hrs, hmm
Me: Checks SNMPc, Checks exchange server logs, Looks at 400 Million attachment downloads from the email server
Me: Tell them I found the problem and it will be fixed in about 20 Minutes.
Me: Goes and gets some coffee
