Ongoing and Unsolved Issues

Despite numerous restarts of the modem and even a brand new modem, we continue to experience significant drops in service. We pay for the highest speeds we can get, and the test I just ran shows that we are receiving 10.8 Mbps. Yes, 10.8. Not 108 -- which is still less than 1/4 of what we pay for -- but 10.8. 


When I try to call on the phone, I simply receive a bot-driven run around, and basically the suggestion is "re-start your router." Great. I've done that about 12 times at this point, and yet, every day, we experience this. At this point, I suppose the answer is to switch to a new provider, correct?

So, to be clear, instead of offering to solve the problem, you are directing me to a fairly long and technical page? First of all, most of that has already been done. I spent extensive time on a chat a few weeks ago, which resulted in a brand new router. That brand new router is now installed and running, and yet at various points of the day, I'm getting 10 - 60 Mbps.


For example, on the linked page, it says:

"

To perform this procedure:

  1. Turn off your computer.
  2. Unplug the modem/gateway (remove the backup battery if equipped).
  3. Unplug the router if you have a stand-alone unit.
  4. Plug the modem/gateway back in and wait for the status light to indicate it is online.
  5. If you have a stand-alone router, plug it back in and wait for the lights to indicate ready status.
  6. Power on your computer."

All of that has been done multiple times over the last few weeks. 

"

Check your signal levels

To view your modem’s status page go to http://192.168.100.1 or http://10.0.0.1

Absolutely not. For one thing, those don't work. For another, most of what follows that has already been addressed.

I offered some potential solutions. That's about all I can do remotely. I am not physically at your premises. I'm not a Comcast employee. Good luck with it !
