Frequent Drops
I am experiencing frequent drops. I connected to my xB7 cable modem (gateway login is http://10.0.0.1) and from the main page which shows Gateway > At a Glance I went to the left menu, clicked Gateway -> Connection -> XFINITY Network and then scrolled down to the last table at the bottom, CM Error Codewords. The xB7 reports the number of Unerrored Codewords (mine are currently 2,254,612,551), the number of Correctable Codewords (mine are currently 1,356,453,181), and the number of Uncorrectable Codewords (currently 2). While my uncorrectable count is low and that is good, 38% of data packets transmitted from Comcast still arrive damaged and need to be fixed by the modem. I cannot help but think this equipment is bogged down and working harder than normal. Zoom audio pops and video momentarily freezes while devices reconnect. These events are frequent (2-6 times/hour) and last long enough to ruin thoughts mid-sentence and derail important conversations. The quality of my xFinity connection has degraded despite Ookla's foolish reports, my user experience is suffering, and my satisfaction with the cable internet service has diminished considerably. What do I do? Did Ezee Fiber nick your CATV lines with their Ditch Witches?
