Hmm well now he could work for the special BY TEC support, the ones you get to talk to who will advise you to format your P C, blame everything but the pope, then hear voices that tell them to read page 2 of the good BY support teams brief that says if all else fails and you can't blame the tec just say some areas are having problems at the moment and we are fixing it...
As for the real problem here, yep mostly right Ignition, now the speck is +3 to _7. taking into account the +7 db in a 256 area..
it still could be a modem fault here, as some will misread...and 56 is to high...
will still work but with slow speeds, loss of connection and finnally giving up and no connection at all...
channels are set and on some modems can be changed but may go back to whatever is available, yep sometimes they do get to busy and moving up will be a temp fix...
his high upstream could be anything from a bad connector, damaged drop, faulty modem, fault in the network..
A trace will tell you which hop is giving probs, and by how much..
people spend their time pinging places and just clog up the network, besides data that is being sent will move over them hence at times they will drop packets.. that is the way it is designed to be...
okies so far.. some here seems well informed and give out really good advice,
others well they are the reason I wake up smiling, there is nothing worse that putting something inprint that makes a fool out of the poster...
MY MOTTO, DON'T BEWARE THE MAD PEOPLE THEY WON'T HURT YOU, ITS THE SANE ONE'S YOU HAVE TO WATCH...
HAVE A GOOD DAY GUYS
