Great little device that Cox is unaware of

These little devices are amazing. After the two techs came out they said everything was within spec but I was having insanely large packet losses and unrecoverable errors. My power levels were 10-16, which is technically within spec but still very hot and on the higher end of the spectrum. Flats on the downstream where 35-38 so these were good. almost completely gone. Now I can play bf:v much more stable. It's almost smooth. Maybe I'll get a packet loss warning for a few seconds in two hours. Previously every 5 minutes. Ping dropped even more, my diehards are all gone. Now only one channel reports about it. The remaining 15 were free, so I assume the remaining packet loss came from that channel. Channel 3. Now you need to reclaim this remaining channel from the helmsman and get it out again. I don't know why two technicians told me that hundreds of thousands of uncorrectable errors every other day is normal. I don't know what else to do. I even replaced my sb6183 with another one.

Pros
  • 7/16" hex housing allows standard tools to be installed
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
