Internet keeps disconnecting

Pguy
I plan to stick around

I tried unplugging modem and 3rd party router.

This problem seems to happen more frequently. I am now entering the info into my phone (notes) - time/day of disconnection and duration.

It went down Tuesday and now today. I don't recall how long it was out last time. Maybe 30 min or 1 hr total?

I also use a wifi Smart TV.

It has reconnected a few times only to drop 5 mins (estimate) later. Sometimes the speed is normal but often, the connection is at a much lower speed suggesting a problem.

I am wondering if there's an issue.

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I plan to stick around

Hello why has my location lost DOCSIS 3.1?  Please see below logs?  For the last week my modem and my neighbours modems would all reboot at 5:30am.  My modem would not reconnect until a physically reboot.  I have replaced the modem with a new modem.  and now the 5:30am reboot problem is gone but so is my DOCSIS 3.1 connectivity.  My speeds and connection are so far stable.  But I feel like I am getting scammed by not getting DOCSIS 3.1.  My modem used to have one light blue light and a dark blue light now both lights are dark blue.  I believe this is a neighbourhood issue.  My case number is C159779511.  My modem is CODA-4582U.  Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

Hello there @bobbydigital,

 

Thank you for sharing the modem status results with us this sure helps. I know how important it is to have a consistent and stable Internet connection, dealing with connectivity drops can be very tricky.

 

Since the ticket was submitted a few days ago, did you receive any follow up notification or any updates regarding the ticket for the area issue?

 

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with DOCSIS 3.1 Downstream transmit not being in spec. Just to ensure your configuration is set up for optimal performance can we ensure all cables are hand-tight, any signs of wear and tear on the cabling? Also, can you confirm if anything was added to the line for example splitters or boosters?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Kind Regards,

RogersMike

Signal went down again this time for both internet and cable tv.

 

This is happening daily.  The ticket was not followed up.  Please follow up or else I will switch my entire home to Bell Fibe.

 

All internal home connections are fine.  Modem has been replaced.  There must be a problem with the street connection.  Send the trucks and the techs to my street.

I am now on bell fibe,  the speed difference is outstanding.  I am a happy bell internet user now.  No more waiting for pages to load, constant service issues etc.  

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I plan to stick around

New case number# C159886572

 

Send the trucks, send the techs, there is a problem on my street in Scarborough.  All my neighbours are experiencing the same issue.  We have all been issued new modems, there is some sort of instability on the line mostly affect internet stability.

 

I have lost DOCSIS 3.1 connection, I am now running on DOCSIS 3.0 this will only cause more instability on the Rogers infrastructure.

The lights on my CODA modem are dark blue not light blue!  Why am I paying full price for DOCSIS 3.0?!?!?!

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

@bobbydigital there's no problem running DOCSIS 3.0 for your modem.  The performance of the 4582 modem running 3.0 is actually pretty good and equals the performance when 3.1 on the download side is running.  3.1 on the upload side is only available at a few limited areas at the moment, which is most likely a test, prior to network wide adoption.  

 

Looking at your signal levels and the statement that there are a number of customers with the same issue, I'd say that there's an issue with the neighbourhood node or with an amplifier that is running between your modem and the neighbourhood node.  There is a big signal level drop between 279 Mhz and ~570 Mhz.  The DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM channel runs in that frequency range.  I don't have any doubts that the negative signal slope exceeds the allowed signal slope, therefore the modem reverts to DOCSIS 3.0 on the downstream side.  This problem will affect all modems on the cable run from the neighbourhood node to your modem and beyond, to the end of the cable run.  That includes the 4582 modem and the Ignite TV XB6 modems.  

 

At worst, you might see higher latency in the evening, but, you would have to be running a continuous ping to the Rogers DNS in order to determine that.  It all depends on the loading at the neighbourhood node and the upstream Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) which controls all of the connected modems in your area and which provides data services to those modems. 

 

With the case number raised, the moderators could twig the tech support / maintenance staff to determine what action is underway, if any.  Or, you could inquire with tech support, using the number that you stated.  Personal opinion, I'd be calling every day.  

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I am currently sitting at home with no TV or internet.
Why would I accept DOCSIS 3.0 when everyone else is getting DOCSIS 3.1?
Have multiple people working from home and this is completely unacceptable.

Move to bell.  You will be much happier.

Trust me,  Calling every day does not work either.  I was calling every day for months with no resolution to my connection issues. 

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

bobbydigital

What pisses me off is that Rogers sent me an old CODA modem hardware revision 1A to replace my hardware revision 2A CODA.  Because they said my modem is the problem.  But in actuality the problem is with the entire street!  Now I am running an older version of the already poor CODA modem.  Looks like I lost DOCSIS 3.1, not sure why I am paying full price for DOCSIS 3.0?  Sent out a few emails to Bell reps let's see what they offer when they reach out to me.

How do I get a credit to my account for this loss of service from Rogers?

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

Hey @bobbydigital

 

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums! 😊 I hope you're staying safe and sound.

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I've been here awhile

I've been having issues for what seems like forever.  Been through several Ignite Modems with no improvement.

 

Finally ran a ping test last night - here's the bottom line:

 

Ping statistics for 99.249.240.1:
Packets: Sent = 3600, Received = 3532, Lost = 68 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 3ms, Maximum = 57ms, Average = 11ms

 

From what I've read on this thread, no level of packet loss is acceptable, and in reality, it's closer to 2% (1.89)

 

What's my next step?

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

Hello @bstotes 

 

Sorry to hear you're having issues with your home internet I can see how challenging it can be.

 

Can you ensure you are running the ping test on a wired connection and ensure the internet is not being used by other devices in the home? Believe it or not sometimes something as simple as a faulty connecter on the cable line will help alleviate the signal.

 

We may need to have a service tech on-site to assist further but before we do we would like to run some diagnostics to your internet modem. 

 

Please keep us posted, looking forward to your response.

 

Kind Regards,

RogersMike

Hey “RogersMike”, is there any way to be removed from this thread? My inquiry was posted back in February, and we’re STILL getting notifications about all these posts we don’t need to follow anymore. I’ve searched but can’t find a way to delete myself from it.

Hi,

My internet has been randomly disconnecting over 20 times throughout the day and Support does not seem to think there is any problem with the internet.

I am on the 1000mbps internet package (Non ignite).

 

Looking at the logs, I constantly see this when there is disconnect from the internet:

Hello,

 

I do have the exact same issue for over a month now and no one is able to fix it. Everytime I call them, they just go over the same troubleshooting steps as if the problem exist on our end. I am on the verge of cancelling this service. I am only waiting for bell to give me a better deal. Their Fiber to the home is spectacular and you will not see any disconnection in service

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I plan to stick around

I have intermittent disconnections of internet during the day.

- Happens on both wireless and wired modem

-Both with modem in bridge mode and gateway mode

- CAT wire connected directly to modem

-Modem is connected all the way to the DMARC point

-signals are fine, no SNR

 

This whole process is getting extremely frustrating for us. I have multiple technicians visit my address and they are not able to detect anything.

 

I 'm just  keep replacing my modem every time. Already have done it 3 times.

All CODA modems that I'm getting are faulty in the end, as they are refurbished .

I feel extremely disappointed with the service, as no one taking ownership here.

 We all three in the family are strongly dependent on internet connection, but I feel that our issue is not been taken care and the level of professionalism is low and neglected.

 

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

Hey @awais22, @pshiv11 and @doctor80!

 

It's disheartening to hear that you've each had such ongoing intermittent concerns that have not yet been resolved. Thank you for taking the time to let us know here in the community so we can assist in getting to the bottom of it. I have a few questions to help us help you if that's alright.

 

@awais22

Your signal levels look good, and though a T3 time out on it's own isn't an indicator of an issue, many of them in a short period of time would signal something.

 - Are your disconnects over wired or WiFi?

 - Can you log into your modem's GUI and confirm if the LAN/WAN uptime are within 5ish minutes of each other? If the WAN uptime is much lower than the LAN this indicates the modem's loss of connection to the CMTS and it's totally addressable.

 

@pshiv11

We would certainly hate to see you leave, especially if your concern is a resolvable one.
 - Are your disconnects over wired or WiFi? 

 - Are you able to provide your signal levels as shown in the previous post? These are available via logging into your Rogers modem. (url: http://192.168.0.1 / Username: cusadmin / Password: Your WiFi pass).

 

@doctor80

It sounds like you've been through quite a bit from a troubleshooting perspective... can you provide us with your LAN/WAN uptimes from your modem's GUI? I'm curious to see if the disconnects you're experiencing are visible from the modem. This would be the next logical step to seeing a resolution for you.

 

Thank you all for your time, and your patience with this.

Re: Internet Keeps Dropping

I've been here awhile

I am having the same issue as OP.

 

Internet drops for a couple of minutes 1-4 times per day. 

 

Modem lights don't change, internet comes back without any action on my part. Pinging 8.8.8.8 continuously during the day reveals packet loss/timeouts for about 5-10 pings then recovery then more timeouts about 2-4 times during the issue (which happens 1-4 times per day). I have the Hitron CODA modem which was just reset by tech support and its in bridge mode, but my pinging has been from a directly attached laptop and all devices on my network (including wired) have the same issue.

 

Tech support has checked twice so far and signals are theoretically fine.

 

This really seems like some kind of firmware issue or upstream issue with Rogers equipment. Looking forward to a resolution since getting interrupted daily during meetings etc gets pretty frustrating.
