Adelphia can't get their shit together
OK, so I finally got my connection back but theres no telling how long it will last. I have a cable modem and Adelphia is my provider. I figured this post should be specificly about broadband...
First thing to know Cable is the exact opposite as ADSL...good to know.
ADSL is ran over a analogue line...Cable is run over a digital line
The way information is sent over a cable line is the channel spacing. Certain channels are used for downstream transmission of data while others are used for upstream transmission of data.
ADSL works off your phone line. With all the services that are ran over the phone line...fax, dialtone, 56k modem...why not another. The way data is sent is that it sends signals in frequencies that a normal voice, fax, or modem would not make. See, whenever data of some type is input into the device it converts the data to frequency waves and sends them along the line. This is then converted back to the original data at the other end.
Now What would cause the signal to stop?
glad you asked...
Well, since ADSL works off the phone line you'd think it would never go down....far from true. This piece of shit connection will go down when theres a decent storm around. If theres lightning and thunder near ya, it'll go out. The electrical interference caused by lightning storms causes frequency interference to normal data transfer which seems to mimic the signal that is sent by ADSL transmissions. What does this mean? your signal gets confused when theres a storm and no signal can get through....IE you're screwed
Cable will go out when 1 of 2 things happens. 1, your modem stops recieving the signal, or 2, they stop sending the signal. That sound good right? wrong...If the signal being sent is too weak then your modem will cast it off and not recieve it. If they do maintence the signal won't be sent, when the main server updated theres usually a 45 minute downtime (at least with my shitty isp), there are a million and one things that could cause one of those 2 things to happen. And if one does happen your average downtime with any isp is 15 minutes.
In other words no brodband service is good...hmmm, maybe one day we'll have a broadband service that incorperated BOTH cable and adsl...yea so when one is down the other will be up...and think of it...incorperating BOTH cable and adsl together will improve transfer rates thus relieving BANDWIDTH PROBLEMS!!! sure it wouldn't be so easy to get them to work together since they're so different, but thats part of the inginuity of technology...shit we have hybrid cars, why not hybrid broadband services?

p.s. Fuckin Adelphia
