Frequent outages that last 1 to 5 minutes

I had a similar problem last year. Cable changed form pole to modem. I haven't made any changes since then so there are no unnecessary splitters, etc.

I made an appointment for a tech to come and they are scheduled for this Friday morning. Posting here just to make sure keeping the appointment is a good idea.

Last years thread with all the details:

The upstream power is still too high as it was last year. This needs to be addressed !

If there is nothing more that you can do to improve the connection quality, then you'll need to get the techs involved again until it gets fixed properly. 

Bear in mind that if the premises facing techs can not find or fix a problem at your home, it is they who are responsible for escalating it up to their line / network / maintenance dept. techs. The problem may lie beyond your home in the local neighborhood infrastructure somewhere but it is their S.O.P. to start at the home. And if the problem is found to be on their side of the demarcation point, there will not be any charge.


Good luck !
