Hmmm, why isnt anything easy?

Just a fun thought for all of you to ponder over:

You just got your brand-new custom laptop. It has the Fastest EVERYTHING in it. You go down to your local coffee shop around noon for a drink and bring it along because it has FREE wifi internet.

You plop down, and notice that three other people at ...

in the last few months, my internet has been out for 3 days straight before it got repaired, then their modem Provisioning system has been offline for the last week, and they claim all that is maintenace. :nope:

i think charter is dying, dying, dying, because everytime i call i hear some new ...

cam123240

charter is always doing that maintenace crap and its begininng to get ridiculous

cam123240

lol no!

you need to call the company, and tell them your internet is slow, and then tell them to reprovision your modem so everything will be back to normal

cam123240

call your company and tell them to "re-provision" your modem. this will just reset your modem and may help you out.

if a box pops up asking you your username and password, type in: "user" for the username and "user" for the password, OR type in "root" for the username and "root" for the password.

then post your upstream and downstream Db levels :D

cam123240

please do not ever post your ip address ever, ever, ever, ever ,ever again. :rotfl:

that's usually a big no no to post it to the public because some sneaky folks may be able to give you some "trouble" if your not properly protected, if you don't know what someone is asking you, next time just ask ...

although it may be a loose connection/splitter or something like that where the main cable "feed" come in to your home from.

if that guy doesnt fix the problem then you should go into your local office like this: :irate: point out to them that your contract/TOS should say somewhere something about ...

The legend of zelda Ocarina of time PWNS all that crap and it's on the N64 for god's sake.

i started a new game recently, and am stuck at the Fire Temple; any suggestions?

cam123240

i've heard stories about people getting this work because they use a router, what do u guys think? possible or not?

i have cable internet so dont worry

cam123240

does average internet speed increase if you use like CAT7 versus CAT5e?

just confused on what these higher CAT numbers are even for

cam123240

maybe he means the standby button like cable modems do, like the motorola surfboards.?

cam123240

just kidding about the last one

cam123240

you'll have to tell these guys quite a bit more than that for any help:
tcp/ip analyzer results
speedtest.net results
tracert http://www.google.com copy and paste
any modems/routers brand names, model numbers
mac/pc
chicken or beef

I called my cable companys tech support line and the guy there said Hes been doing tech support for 20yrs and never heard of a cable modem going bad? Is he serious?:

that guy is an idiot. everything "goes bad" after a while, espically if you are renting the cable modem from them; are you?

cam123240

hey dude,

it sounds like maybe the main power lead to your modem is faulty, damaged, etc.

You should add me as a friend on xbox live: Zeppelin Dude69

tell your cable company to give you a new modem, and tell them that you don't think you should have to pay for service for like the last week ...

jeeze, seems complicated, my friend got caught because the idot was typing stuff in the address bar, and the librarian walked behind him and happened to glance at what he was typing. what a dummy. :rotfl:

seems too hard for it to even be worth it. :o

but at least thereIS a way to do it which ...

i'm always interested in what exactly is blocking me from doing something that I want to do. (not that i actually want to do it, if that makes sense)

cam123240

i see how that could seem that way,

does seem funny now that i think of it...

lol nevermind you guys, just looking for ideas thats all.

its most liikely that either your node is totally crowded with torrenting fools, or some corporation or school etc. is running online updates or maintenance on multiple workstations hogging bandwidth.

A nice little secret symantec dosent want revealed is that in their 2000 version, you can install it, use it for 365 days, then when the key is expired, you can unistall, reinstall, and get it for another 365 days and so on and so on, may be a little outdated, but will still work the same with ...

DEMAND that they ...

cam123240

oh ya man, no doubt, a home grade router is buckling under all that pressure... yet you complain about being "kicked" off online games, have you maybe thought about your "ping" times???

some times as i understand it, an high (??) ping time will disconnect you from the server, or something similar ...

cam123240

alas, if running optimizer programs does not help, calling your cable company, and demanding that they reprovision and recycle your modem is your best bet.

this resets your modem, and will usually fix crap problems that just "seem" to happen for no reason with cable companies. Then, after recycling ...
