If any of the mods want to delete this thread, that's cool, but I wanted some people to see my problem. (Better my chance at getting some much needed help).

Before, I thought it was just a crappy signal from COX, because my TV was fuzzy on the lower channels. Now, my TV is great all the time, but the same symptoms keep creeping up on the internet connection. BTW, I don't use a splitter. The internet connection is in my TV(less) bedroom.


Has anybody had any problems with a Terayon TJ715 modem? Does anybody know any common problems with cable connections that are user related? What could possibly causing my intermittant packet loss problem? I would think that if something was wrong, it would be wrong all the time, and then be fixed, and be fine.
