Hi all,
I posted a message on VM's broadband support newsgroup today as I've been experiencing fluctuations in download speeds, downstream power levels, and intermittent pauses in transmission for a couple of months. The problems have been a minor annoyance, so I've been in no rush to report them; however, with the imminent closure of the newsgroups I thought I'd get in now!
The support guy has said he's had a look at my connection and can see some T3 timeouts and has booked an engineer for me.
I have no idea what a T3 timeout is and I like to have a few facts to hand before an engineer visits so I was hoping somebody would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions:
- What is a T3 timeout?
- Would there be any evidence of T3 timeouts in my modem's event logs?
- What are the possible causes/remedies of T3 timeouts?
If anyone can offer any information I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Ed.
