Do you have any signal boosters installed?

:nod: I have Charter cable in my home and I had a AC powered signal booster installed on my line (originally for the cable signal only) and I discovered that when i hooked up my modem to that cable line , it was going so fast, it eventually fried the modem. I was crawling at slower than a 56k dialup.
Thats something you can check. The cable tech installed it years ago and I had no idea it was even there.
Also call you cable tech support and ask them for the "cable modem test" website and logons. The tech took one look at those results and knew exactly what the issue was.
Hope it helps!
