Things were going fairly well until Wed morning - none of the local sites (newspapers, radio stations, gas prices) would load. I could get to the east coast but that was it. I waited about a half hour then plugged in Xanadoo to finish my morning surf.
About an hour later I started pinging a few places to see if things had improved BUT the ping times were so high and I noticed the routes had changed dramatically - then I remembered I was using Xanadoo. I switched to Comcast and still could not get to the local newspaper. Xanadoo had just loaded it but Comcast told me it did not respond. Whatever.
I ran errands and took a nap. The following 24 hours were up and down. Yesterday morning same thing but I noticed with ping plotter I was not losing packets and some of the routing had changed drastically - to the point I thought I was back on Xanadoo and even got up to switch the cable.
Even though everything looked great in pingplotter - I could not load gmail, Google Reader, or Yahoo and then it got weird - like the DNS servers went offline.
I changed to Xanadoo and everything was happy. I spent quite a bit of time doing some reasearch and did not notice any difference until I tried to look up some images and I remembered I was on a 256K line.
So things have been good except minor outages.
I've called my personal customer service rep at the local office but he has not returned my call. No panic yet - but darn I hope things are not going backwards.
Has anyone ever had DVR recording 'pushed' to them? Several times my DVR has recorded things that I did not set up. They all seem to be 'new' shows that I have never seen scheduled before.
I have one of the new DCH6416 - larger HD for Hi-Def - a little better but the lag time between pushing remote button and action on he screen seems extremely long sometimes. And the front panel is a white LCD so I can not tell if it has 'seen' the button push and is waiting or if it has missed it.
So still not totally stable but much better then a few weeks ago.
