What's this? (modem log)
 
After recent issues with my broadband ( here ) NTL came out and gave me the new ntl:250 modem.

Anyway, since getting it i've been suffering similar problems to before.... however now I can view the log... and this is what it's like:

This is just a tiny chunk of the log that shows this going on a LOT, same thing over and over and every time it does happen my connection drops.

I've searched the forum and found similar messages but no clear answer on what causes them and the resolution (although i'm gonna guess the latter involves an engineer) - Can anyone shed some light on what's happening to my modem? NTL Tech decided they'd blame my router for it, so I took the router out of the equation and it continues...

Anyway... anyone know anything about this? :Yikes:

What are the power levels like if it shows that option as T3 errors usually relate to an upstream problem.

:D

usually between 35-49dBmV - Though it does sometimes spike to 60... which I guess, is bad? :monkey:

Well the spiking isn't the issue the huge variation is. Definitely network or modem problems.

Tighten up those connectors, and if that doesn't help engineer time.

Thanks for the replies.

Cables/Connectors checked, absolutely fine but problems persist. Another engineer visit ahoy... such a pain in the backside, having to take time off work for an engineer visit :(
