[Vision2020] Frontier DSL

[Tom Hansen]

I'm not sure if your problem is return-of-the-students related or not.

I live in an apartment complex that is 99% students.  I have two separate DSL lines in my apartment.  I run four laptops and two desktops off of two wireless routers.  No problems anywhere.

However, when I do experience any problem, First Step is on it almost immediately.

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Very annoying.  We know the lines in our neighborhood are pure crap – for a while, Verizon & then Frontier was having to come out pretty much monthly to splice or whatever wires on the main trunk line somewhere a few blocks from our house – that went on for years.  The last time seems to have fixed the phone line static problems, but it’s been since then that we’ve noticed DSL speed slowing to a crawl periodically.

If so, we’ve be having an issue for the last couple of weeks where our we lose our connection every dang day between 12-1 PM for several minutes.  I was thinking that’s when the modem was contacting the mothership to reauthorize/get a new IP addy, but according to Frontier, the connection shouldn’t be dropped when that happens.  They looked at the 8 hour log (IIRC) for our modem & there are errors, so the thinking is that our modem is going out.
