Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

Anybody else have problems from about 10:30 onwards last night. Cable modem rebooted itself about 3 times, until 11:30 when I gave up trying to play LIVE and went to bed ?

Didn't see anything about maintenance is this area for this week. Maybe down to the heat ?? :)

Have you checked your download speeds?

Perhaps your area was having the speed updates done?

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

Rebooted mine at about 10:30 last night.. upgrades had been done in Bracknell.. but I hadn't rebooted before to know if the upgrade was last night or previous to that.

185k/ps :D weeee!!

checked by connection last night, and I have been upgraded to 1.5mb, so that may have explained the modem rebooting the previous night.

However, I'm still not entirely sure whether my upstream/packet loss is that good though.

When I was hosting EIF on LIVE last night, the guy joining my game got a warning that the connection quality could impact the gameplay. It seemed to play smoothly enough, and I'll try TOCA and others tonight to see if things have improved.

well ive just got off the phone to ntl due to the connection intermittently dropping out

apprently they say the signal strength is to weak...


anyway a tech is coming monday to look at it.

im in basingstoke so i was wandering if its just me or wheter there is other people having problems due to signal levels as well :td:


why do they keep on changing the signal level anyway?


surfboard signal page says (doesnt mean anything to me but im sure someone with tech knowhow will understand it)

Power Level 53 dBmV for upstream and
Power Level 3 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

these are my power readings Downstream Receive Power Level : -0.90 dBmv Downstream SNR : 34.57 dB Upstream Transmit Power Level : 51.75 dBmv. i had a problem yesterday, i took my router off and just used the modem and my connection dropped off 3 times, put router back on and no problems

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

I'll post my power readings tonight

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

spoke 2 soon :(

hmm seems to go down around midday mostly... maybe a pattern is emerging oh well roll on monday and hopefully they will be able to fix it :erm:

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

just to update anyone whos intersted the tech said somthing about a signal amp for the upstream playing up and that its affecting some of the area so if anyone in basigstoke keeps disconnected that maybe why.

he said he would get a network crew onto it...

Re: Problems - Basingstoke/Reading
 

what part of basingstoke are you in as my connection seems to be up and down the last few days
