Help understand strange transient modem behavior/internet outages

Hello, I've been having issues with my cable internet, and I really hope someone can help me get a read on what the problem most likely is. The issue is transient, and I'm worried that the tech will say "everything's fine" and do nothing... at which point I'll get charged for a nonissue visit...

Any tips for dealing with Cable internet tech support

One quick random thought/question: If it's a problem with the wiring on my side, why does the act of unplugging/replugging have any kind of effect? If the connection gets dropped because of physical issues near my end, I'd expect what I do (unplug/replug) to have absolutely no effect. If the...

Any tips for dealing with Cable internet tech support

Thanks for the tips, folks! I've been keeping an eye on power level, and upstream has been more like 46. Downstream seems stable at -8. I'll bring it up with them and have them check if anything like that is going on. Ugh they were supposed to call me back "within the hour" and never did. Not...

Any tips for dealing with Cable internet tech support

By the way the modem's signal stats are looking okay, from what I can tell: Downstream: Frequency 717000000 Hz Signal to Noise Ratio 37 dB QAM 256 Network Access Control Object ON Power Level -8 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this...

Any tips for dealing with Cable internet tech support

Hi all, I've been having some trouble with my cable connection. It works fine usually, and it's fast while it's working, but the modem seems to drop the connection at times. It sometimes just auto-reconnects, but other times, I actually need to unplug the moden and the cable for a few seconds...

Switching up to HDMI

Yeah the AVR I'm looking at doesn't have optical out. nsafreak: I am unfamiliar with Onkyo HTIB models. Can you recommend one in the $300-$400 range that does all this stuff? I'm looking at the HT-S3400 right now, which seems to at least have the inputs and outputs I need... but it's weird to...

Switching up to HDMI

Ah, that looks like the right way to go. I did a bit of research, and found that something like a Denon AVR-791 would do the job. I could hook my PS2 into the component/optical, and use HDMI for everything else, and it should switch with impunity, if I read the specs right. The only hangup...

Switching up to HDMI

Thanks for the suggestion! An HTIB would include lots of speakers and a sub, and I'd like to avoid that overhead if at all possible. I don't mind investing in a proper switch box that handles all these things, and actually does conversion (most switches I know of can't convert one signal to...

Switching up to HDMI

Hi all! I haven't posted here in years, but I'm glad to see it's still all here! I recently updated to the latest Panasonic projector, and I thought this would be a great time to start looking at switching all the wiring to HDMI and fully benefit from it. Right now, I've got just component...

Can't manually set clock on old Samsung phone???

Ah, good call. It appears to be the A660 from Samsung. I found the manual for it online, but it doesn't bring up anything useful when searching through for the terms "clock" or "time"

Can't manually set clock on old Samsung phone???

Hi all, I have an old Samsung phone (don't see any model number on the phone anywhere). It's one you have to flip open, and it's old enough that it doesn't have the outside LCD (so I have to open it if I want to know what time it is, for example). I got it in Sept 2005 when I signed up with...

Javascript + Firebug

Hey, I'm wondering if there's any way I can programmatically, using Javascript, retrieve Firebug data. Does firebug expose some kind of hooks so I can retrieve things like the javascript errors, or the request timing of the page load (the "Net" section)? I'm sure it would count as a security...

Why does firefox need to be restarted sometimes?

At some point, Firefox started having an issue where if I browse some more image-heavy sites a lot in one go (e.g. google maps, or facebook pages by annoying people who install every worthless app), it stops downloading images at some point. It looks like it's waiting on a connection, but it...

Debian issue + questions about potential change to Ubuntu

Ah, that makes a lot of sense indeed. Do I need to get the "server" edition if I want to run apache, or is that for something more professional? Not quite sure how it's split, but you can just apt it anyway... I'm really looking forward to trying it out hehe.
