Hey trie something really quick. I'm just curious. Turn off all of the tv's in your house and play with internet for a while and see how it works.
all our tv's were off in our house while we were fiddling with it


hmm, ok. Possibly borrow a friends modem or something and try it out. A new one is kind of a big purchase.


Have you tried connecting the modem right to a computer?

Comcast should be giving them a new modem.

Call, complain, insist they send you a new one. Obviously you will send back the old one when the new one comes.

Also, try actually disconnecting all the TVs/cable boxes. Even if they are off, they would still draw a signal. They are never truly off, they just go into a sleep like state.

this IS the new one, we tried to get the old one but they'd have to cross the signals for the phone and internet since it used to be separate which would make it actually weaker

That still doesnt mean this one isnt defective. We had one with Verizon that would cut out every day about the same time because it was over heating. Got a new modem, worked fine.

Well could you tell that it was overheating? One thing I noticed is that even when the modem is disconnected from the router, it displays on our computers as connected to the network.

i contacted tech support and we found out that this laptop has a problem with the ethernet controller (not sure why) and he said that this could be causing probs with the whole network

is this true
