Title: Cable, DSL or other?
Post by: SapperSix on December 05, 2007, 08:15:06 AM

VacTacks11 (Shaw), leafan17 (Surfboard modem, which is a cable modem, I believe) and OctoberPrince78 (Time Warner) are all having issues.

I don't know how cable high-speed internet works, I've never had it, but is it possible that there is some common problem with folks using cable?  Just thought I'd throw out a poll.

I have had no issues with my DIR-655 (FW 1.10).  I use ATT (California) DSL, the DIR-655 WAN port uses DHCP to communicate with a Motorola DSL modem.

Mine's 15Mbit DSL w/ static IP.

i had no problems with my router at all until i upgraded a month ago to 1.10,  then my router started rebooting every 5-10 minutes,

Oh well.  Looks like it was just a coincidence that three cable modem users reports problems fairly close to each other...

mhochman, 15Mbps DSL?  Is that ADSL2?  Speakeasy?  I know this is off-topic, but what kind of benchmarks are you getting?

yes,  its ADSL2,    15 down/1.0 up   they actually offer 20down/1.0 up.     but i actually don't want to pay the extra $10/month for it,  unless i drop my static IP.

It's a local ISP (gwi.net) here in Maine,   I get very close to the full 15 down (they actually have the line overprovisioned to try and get you as close to advertised speed as possible)  on the up side,   i usuaklly get between 800-900,
