Title: Comcast subscribers will get a laugh...
Post by: decepticon on August 29, 2010, 03:10:33 PM
Sooo, I have been having annoying 5-30 second network drop outs on my Comcast connection.  And my 'cable' led on my cable modem has been flashing for some time now with the status page reporting that the Ranging requests have timedout.  So I call Comcast to ask them if they see any issues with my signal (there are none according to them). 

Here's the funny part:
I said that I have a long run from the entry point in the house to my modem upstairs.  She said to check and make sure that there are no kinks in the coax cable since it is all fiber optic and there are millions of fibers in the line and a kink would hinder performance. 

I had to laugh out loud at her.  :rofl:

No, I had to get off the phone with her.  I couldn't take it.

LMAO That was the other night for me... The cable modem was ranging and she insisted that she needed to know if I had a router... I had to explain it didn't Fudgeing matter... And it came to be that the techs decided that I should be running from my voice modem not my data modem...

Did you call back so you could talk to someone different? Better yet, do you remember the name?
