The Welshchris Saga:D:D:D

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

The WelshChris saga that isn't getting resolved, because we keep being told it's a HFC issue when it isn't

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Moldova, this is part of the reason why i am going to sky, Saneboy is a VM Network engineer and was there any need for a VM member of staff (urself) to make a cheep public shot at Another member of staff trying to be helpful?

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

It was a joke about the PM he had sent and not aimed at him at all.

Good luck with the SKY package Chris and I hope it provides you with a service you can use and enjoy without the hassle.:)

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Moldova, i really think ur so called Joke was in bad taste and shows what complete disrespect some members of VM staff have for customers and their work collegues.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

I think your massive over-reaction to his so-called joke (which wasn't a joke at all, it was just a passing, throwaway comment) is the most laughable thing in this whole laughable thread.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Chris did you fail to read my post above it was about the size of the PM he sent broadbandings and not a joke about him.

I know that you are unhappy with your service and as you say you are going to SKY because of this, people make comments on here all the time as do I, but I never put people down on here as that is unfair.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

here we go again pulling weight on someone else because they have power and disagree with someone else... I see a pattern emerging here.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

If there's one thing you've proven yourself very good at Chris, it's seeing patterns that aren't there.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Chris, don't worry about the Moldova quote..I have skin like a Rhino's hind quarter. The banter and things we say to eachother is about 100 times worse than that...besides I knew that Moldova was having a fun dig at me, as we Net Tech's are not very good with our Keyboard skills, unlike them that sit in the office all day, ain't that right Moldova:D

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

I have to say this is showing a total disrespect here for members, and a mod throwing his weight around and saying and getting away with much more with what we can because he is a mod with powers.

I know its against the rules to publicly argue with a mod but im going to say YOU REALLY ARE DISRESPECTUL! and the wait you talk to members on here knowing they cant get away with saying things back to you, i really think you dont deserve to be a Mod.

Your a hypocrite.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

And you're hysterical, and perhaps just a teensy bit paranoid. I don't see anyone getting banned here, do you? I see no 'powers' in evidence here at all. :dozey:

If you don't like people disagreeing with you and criticising your approach to your issues, then don't post them on a public internet forum that is dedicated to open discussion. It's not rocket science, is it?

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Well we are having a very pleasant and informative chat anyway, I'll leave the thread to rage while we discuss the matter in private :)

Not quite sure about CTRL ALT DEL:D

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

CTRL,ALT,DEL where do I find them on the keyboard?:dunce:

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

wheres the any key?

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

By the Linux button on any PC;)

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Linux:shocked: Now you are talking my language:D. Then again.. I was going to say something then and just lost my train of thought...see, that's what happens when you put a screen and keyboard in front of me:dunce:. Gimme a hammer and a spanner and I am a happy boy:p:

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Back to topic: I can see how the modem ready light going off has affected certain people here.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Well you press any key to continue or any other key to quit...

Hazanko looked at the chaos he had created and thought to himself, "what have i done!?".

I didn't realise my thread would get this bad. The fault seemed to of been effecting people in the North West, it said on 151. Mine seems fine at the moment but it went down yesterday night.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

You managed to get a large thread but not much about the theme you wanted which all things considered is what I expected.;)

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

It wasn't a bad idea on the face of it, but as all the techies and VM employees in this thread have been saying since it began, it was based on a false assumption.

When your modem ready light goes off, all the modem is saying is 'I'm not ready' ... effectively 'something's not working'. It is no more likely that you can identify a nationwide fault by cataloguing instances of this failure, than you could infer a nationwide outbreak of tyre-slashing just because every branch of Kwik-Fit from Land's End to John O'Groats fixed a handful of punctures today.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

A flashing ready light is either no upstream lock or no online lock determined by how fast the light flashes, only logging into the config page of the modem will tell you which one it is.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Now, Mags, you've only gone and given some folks enough rope to hang themselves.

They will want full details and descriptions now:p:

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

My bad :erm:

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Could you tell me how many Mississippi I need to count between flashes for it to be "no upstream lock"?

Thanks in advance.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

I am in Swansea (SA1) and have been having this problem for the last 2 months.

We have had several engineer visits, a new modem and cables. The last time the engineer came (last week) he mentioned he had just come from another job on the street from someone who works in the call centre, and this is a problem further up the network.

When it does happen, the sync light drops for a split second and re-locks. This causes the ready light to flash. If I manually renew the IP (DHCP/RENEW) I can connect, even though the ready light does not lock.

If I want to stop it flashing I have to reboot the modem.

I am sick of phoning India and having to spend 20 minutes listening to bad music and then following the turn it off and on again script, but what choice do I have?

Sympathy to fellow ready light flashers :(

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Quick note - in SA1 you will be on different equipment from Welshchris who is on Cwmbwrla kit not Swansea.

The condition of needing to manually renew IP affects me on the 50Mbit modem as well. The ready light flashing is just a cosmetic bug and shouldn't be worried about.

This withstanding it sounds like whenever you are load balanced across from one downstream to another you are having to manually renew IP - most annoying for sure but nothing to do with Welshchris and his issue.

It seems to be a bit random, some customer kit is just fine with the modem dropping sync and comes back online just fine, some isn't.

EDIT: Also your post is another post showing what a 'mare this thread is. So many causes for the same symptom. It's almost like trying to say every time someone sneezes it has to be swine flu because people with swine flu sneeze :(

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

SA1 postcode not SA1 development. Don't know if that makes a different.

This has been happening on more than one cable modem, and is also happening for other people on my street.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

There is several of us in the PA15 and PA16 postcode that are in the exact same boat.

Getting a new modem tomorrow and a 50mb install next week for £35 so hopefully I dont have any issues post upgrade.

Is this something that can be fixed at the headend Broadbandings?

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

mine cut off for like 10 minutes then came back on, it happened a couple of times.

Re: People affected by modem ready light going off, post here!
 

Frankie when dads goes off its horrendous to try and get back on. Sometimes you have to reboot the modem 5 or 6 times. Its gone on so long now that dad has today signed for sky after being told by tech support all the time theres nothing wrong and must be his pc and since he relies heavily on emails for work he needs a reliable internet.
