Thanks, Remy! Any idea how long the new modem will take to get here? And will there be instructions with the new modem, or is plug & play?
David,
It normally takes between 1-3 days from what I've experienced, so expect it by Thursday! There should be instructions on how to get the modem up and going as well.
Thanks,
Remy

- David_789335 years agoSophomoreRemy, overnight last night my system resumed "normal" operation. There have been no system state codes today. Upload speeds are consistently in the 1.8-2.2 Mbps range, with an occasional one at 0.2. My question -- Should I go ahead and replace the modem now (due here today, per UPS), or wait until it acts up again so I can be sure the modem is in fact the real issue?
David,
I would recommend trying out the new modem! It'll eliminate the old modem as a possibility, and hopefully end any experimenting we'd have to do with you.
Thanks,
Remy
- David_789335 years agoSophomoreI did install the new modem about two hours ago. No error codes since install completed. Packet loss has gone to 0% with the new modem, which is a good sign. And email is working somewhat more normally. So basic functionality is definitely improved. But speeds up & down are routinely horrible, currently averaging 1.1 Mbps up and 3.5 Mbps down. That may be at least partially the result of heavy usage mid-day in the time of COVID, but it's sure not close to advertised speeds of 3 & 25 Mbps. I will test again this evening to see what I get.
