Intermittent VM BB...

[takisawa]

Hi. I have VM's 10mb service. When it works its fine, but for 30-40 mins in every hour it just sits waiting to connect to whatever (non-cached) pages I happen to be looking at. I posted a while ago asking for help & someone suggested posting my settings...thinking it was perhaps to do with Power Levels.
Here they are...

Locked...
Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 4
Downstream Frequency : 403000000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps32Increment4
Downstream Receive Power Level : 3.5 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 33.9 dB

Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 3
Upstream Frequency : 34000000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 44.5 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2

Anyone kind enough to offer any info / help...?

I'm in Lichfield by the way, & the router is a small blue one with (I think) 250 on it.

Cheers.

Power levels are all fine, what DNS servers are you using? If you are using VMs, try OpenDNS

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

Thanks.
I'm not sure what a DNS server is, or what I'm using. I've never changed anything so I guess its whatever is used as standard.
I'll have a trawl & get clued up on DNS servers...
