What happens if you plug in the router without any PCs or other devices using the internet? Is it when the router is plugged in only or when you generate internet traffic? I would guess you or they have tried a new switch?

Sounds like a head end problem on their end to me.

They may be speed provisioning, in other words just throttling it back. Just cuz the fiber can carry Gig or better doesn't mean the devices on the other end are setup to pass 1 Gig. They have equipment that can be set by port. Just like the different DSL/packages they sell, just all and change your package and they just make a few changes on their end and don't need new links or even devices in the house or business.

Yes it is, TV over IP with fiber.

There is a fiberoptic line coming to the house. From the modem, a cat5 brings signal inside the home and to a cheap 4 port switch.

This is the part I don't get. Why connect it to a switch and then to a router ? Get rid of the switch and go straight to the router.

You could probably eliminate the switch, but that is probably their basic termination equipment and you are responsible for anything past that. You could try going directly from Cat5 from the street to your router, but probably not going to really see much change. The switch is more than like 100mb or even Gib speed and the router interface most likely 100mb.

Then all of your video traffic would be going through the router and video quality and internet performance would depend on the customers router. This way they don't have to support all the different routers.

Ok, looks like it has been fixed almost. Technician came ove and said he "tweaked" something at the station, and actually now everything seems to work good.

Frank, he said he was going to do same for you and see if it improves, you can give them a call and he'll come on over.

So far so good for me, I have Mike on Xbox live, I'm downloading here, Maria on Facebook, and Kathy watching the news. 4 laptops, 1 desktop, 1 Xbox, 1 PS3, 4 phones, 1 DVD player, and 2 TVs. No wonder we need a lot of bandwidth crazy

he didn't do anything to the equip here, which I am sure is exactly like yours, I have a Linksys router too. I didn't ask his name but he was a big guy with beard driving a red Chevy truck. Call them tomorrow.

Fred, at the begin it was blazing fast, now it seems spotty, it could be they gave priority to the TV then internet. I get 11.5mb up and 4.9mb down. not too shabby for this old company.

Don't even try to argue with the lady on the phone, you could be the Einstein of computers (aka Upnorth grin ) and she'll still say you're wrong. I snapped at her once, and I got chewed out for being unpolite, go figure....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
