Lexington Park, MD | Anyone having internet issues in southern MD? Hey-
at about 0130 this morning, I started getting intermittent internet service from MC. Ping times have significantly elevated, and I'm seeing up to 50% loss at times. While some hosts are unreachable, others are just slow. For unreachable hosts, traceroute dies after leaving MC (sometimes at internap, MC's tier 2 down here, sometimes one hop later).
Anywho, the MC tech seems to think its a modem issue, despite the fact that the modem shows a good connection (SNR:32.8, about normal for MC, and power levels around -15/50 dBmV down/up).
Is anyone else having issues, or is it just me? |

| No problems here in Cedar Cover--maybe it's just your immediate area:

There was a scheduled maintenance/upgrade last night that would have caused the symptoms you were seeing in MD & CT. Should be all set as of 3-4am this morning. |

Lexington Park, MD | thanks for the info jsz. My monitoring system saw intermittent packet loss from 0130 until about 1000 local time. Everything seems back now. I'll post again if I have any other issues.
Any way I could get a heads up when these things are coming? Is there a mailing list or something? |

-15/50 dBmV down/up
Those are bad signal levels. We keep the upstream less than 48 dbmv and the downstream power should be as close to 0 as possible (fluctuating range can go from -5 to +5)
Thats the issue |

Lexington Park, MD | harox, are you with MC? I've been getting these signal levels since I started monitoring (a few weeks ago). Is this something a tech can resolve? Or am I stuck with this? |
