Re: Motorola
You know what's gonna happen!
The OP will get the new modem and things willbe perfect because the line condition that's suddenly arisen has been fixed or gon away!
thenry will claim victory, The Installer will have to concede that he couldn't be sure it was any other kind of fault and it'llbe smiles all round. Starting now, LOL!
But of course, if on the other hand ........

Re: Motorola
There is only one hand, and it's got a cloned modem in it.

Re: Motorola
this is why he is having a problem. You have daisy chained five 100mbit modems and are using his connection to get on the internet.

Re: Motorola
Modem replacements fix everything. Even my backache.

Re: Motorola
i don't understand why you are all giving him a hard time with the modem replacement. You know what VM are like, they send out modems and shubs willy nillys before they try to fix something. If they are happy to spend however many millions replacing VMNG300s needlessly they are defo going to want to replace an old Motorola modem.

Re: Motorola
Time to stop derailing this thread with yet more inappropriate references to cloning whihc have no relevance to the OP's problems.

Re: Motorola
With regards the heated exchange above - I have a very old Motorola modem (had it since the day of my installation in Telewest days circa 7 years ago) - Virgin are presumably aware of it - works fine for my 10Mb broadband.
I don't understand the "needs replacing" because it is "old" comments above - could someone give my a sensible (non abusive) non techy explanation why old modems needs replaced. If they needed replaced - surely Virgin would have done it!!!!!
Just curious - sorry!

Re: Motorola
they are doing it, which is why they are telling people with perfectly decent modems that they need replacing (look at my sig).
To be fair though, what they are trying to do in theory is admirable and that is future proof their network. As an example, the modem I have atm can only support 4 downstream channels and the shubs they are dishing out can support 8. 100mbit is 100mbit but if the 4 channels my modem locks on to are congested then I am screwed. With 8 channels you have a greater chance of achieving your max speed because it will load balance across 8 channels instead of 4 and relieve the congestion on each channel.
Now that is with my modem. Without looking your's up I would assume it only has 1 or 2 ds channels and you will be on docsis 1 so with them wanging you up to 20mbit soon (or whatever it is) I am sure you will need a new modem anyways. My terayon tj210 I had back in the days of ntl handled 10mbit just fine but i needed to ring up for a new one when I upgraded to 20mbit and the funny thing is that although you think they know this stuff, they upgraded me without even thinking about it and I had to realise I wasn't getting full speed and ring them up for a new modem. These days they are doing it the other way around and wanting to swap out the modems first.

It is basically an antique and needs replacing and I would do so if you rang up and I saw it on your account even if it was an email issue.
What speed are you on and what model is the Motorola modem.
