Our cable modem service started flaking out again last night (right in mid-chat with the Strategist, no less). Fortunately it was after we’d done the majority of our gaming for the night, but it was still irksome.
Margie reports similar flakiness this morning.
Given that it’s a new modem (the second new modem, in fact), and that it’s been pretty much stable for the last week or two since it was installed, I reject any notion from Comcast tech support that it might be static, or heat conditions, or anything other than either crappy equipment somewhere along the line. Which means I expect them to fix it right now.
I am going to be most put out if I can’t get online this afternoon.

So wil I, as I was looking forward to joining the Consortium of justice this morning!
We’ll keep an eye open for you.
P-Siren (Is the “P” silent?) logged on and invited me.
So she told me.
The original char of that name had no hyphen. Nowadays, I hear it pronounced both “Siren” and “Pee-siren,” so take your pick.
Was is das BLINKENLIGHTS!
Hehe, I was doing a search for a Be, Inc. Das Blinkenlights kit, and found this Colorado blog. Not enough good Colorado computer enthusiasts, so … 😀 I posted. Hi!
Do you use Comcast? Because I’ve been through 4 modems and 6 techs with them! Apparrently the Vail Valley is the No. 1 spot for horrible, random Comcast outages…
Yup, we have Comcast. Do a search on that particular string here on the site for the various problems we’ve had with them.
On the other hand, our connection and modem and DVR have all been (knock on wood) stable for a while.
