Intermitted disconnects and timeouts "Uncorrectable CodeWords"

rogerwpearson
I'm here a lot

Hello, I switched from Bell to Rogers several months ago. Since then, I've been experiencing disconnects during meetings, VoIP calls (both on Teams and Fongo), and other strange issues like YouTube ads freezing and turning grey, requiring me to restart the video to get it playing again. I am a network engineer and have tried troubleshooting by connecting directly to the modem, replacing the modem (now on the third one), etc. Rogers technicians have visited three times. Each time, they reported a strong signal, replaced the line twice, and, during the last visit, sent a maintenance team to work in front of my house and three neighboring houses. When I spoke to the technician, he mentioned there was a major issue at a neighbor's house, but again, he said my signal was perfect. I logged into the modem today to check the logs, and while the signal and power strength appear to be within the standard range, the uncorrectable code words seem to be unusually high. Can someone review these results and let me know if they are normal? Also, I'm worried perhaps these errors occurred while he was plugging in the modem or something and they are old invalid errors. How can I reset the counter to zero for these errors so I can tell if they are new?

One of the servers that appears to be causing issues is rogers server 209.148.235.210 according to ping plotter, I'm getting massive packet loss on that server

I sent a message. Yes, I'm getting disconnected frequently. I hope they can help.

Re: Intermitted disconnects and timeouts "Uncorrectable CodeWords"

I followed up with the @communityhelp as suggested above. The technician who was assigned the case told me I had a good signal as of his last test and asked me what the issue was. Given I already described the issue in this thread and directed him to read this thread I find it very frustrating. In any event I will be going back to Bell as the quality of the internet is bad and the support is worse.

Re: Intermitted disconnects and timeouts "Uncorrectable CodeWords"

As a further follow up. I installed PRTG as it is clear I have to troubleshoot this with a first line helpdesk technician with zero understanding of basic networking or I have to fix it myself. Upon installing PRTG I immiediately received an error on the gateway 10.0.0.1 for myrouter.io upon going to https://10.0.0.1 and looking at certificate I can it was issued by comcast july 10th 2023 and expired the same day this year. So rogers is using expired comcast certificates for the HTTPs on their routers. The more you dig into this ISP the more incompetent they are revealed to be.
