This question is for people with the Metrocast Cable for your Internet. We don't have the DSL option in our area and we've had the GMP, then Metrocast Internet for quite a few years. Of course they had some real serious issues back through 2002 to 2005. don't know about 2006 cause we weren't here, but we got their cable Internet turned on again last spring. We really don't see the connection going out like we use to... the issue now is the modem. We are on our third brand new modem since install last spring... And it appears I am gonna have to purchase another. The issues always point back to the modem, but I can not believe I am that unlucky to get 3 different brands new Linksys, Dlink and now a Motorola, but they were all cable modems with built in wireless... Anyway, the main issues before this current modem was that something was zapping them and losing ALL data and going back to factory settings or constantly losing ip connection. This was erradic. Now this current modem works ok except we have to unplug it and plug it back in to get wireless to connect... computers see the modem/connection... but sit there and show something about "acquiring ip address"... while a couple of other computers are connected wirelessly and operating fine... the only way to get the new computer connection online is to unplug/plug in the dang modem... I am considering purchasing another new modem, but this getting ridiculous...
Is others having any issues similar to this? Do you have to unplug/plug in the modem almost daily to get computers to connect wireless?
Thanks for any feedback or comments... |
I am definitely having a similar issue. They told me it was my modem, but I don't believe them. We had 5 months of service issues when we got here last year, and finally went to the county committee meeting that oversees metrocast. That got some attention. The head guy for this area over saw the repairs. Turned out they had crimped the line in the box out at the street (it was closed inside the casing) damaging the line, and that had been the issue for months! They are the worst cable company I've ever seen in my moves around the country.
