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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">What do you mean it’s shutting off around 8 PM? Are you losing your connection? 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Did you get the flyer in their bill about the new modem? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Saundra Lund<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Moscow, ID<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">~ Edmund Burke<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <a href="mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com">vision2020-bounces@moscow.com</a> [mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bev Bafus<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, August 23, 2011 6:24 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Moscow Vision 2020'<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vision2020] Frontier DSL<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Anyone else in Moscow using Frontier DSL?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">And have you noticed it shutting off at 8 p.m. every night for the last week or two?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We can’t get any help from Frontier…….<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Bev<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>=======================================================</span><br><span> List services made available by First Step Internet, </span><br><span> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. </span><br><span> <a href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a> </span><br><span> <a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com"><a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com</a></a></span><br><span>=======================================================</span></div></blockquote></body></html>
