What an experience. The tech came and hooked me up outside, tested the line inside and left. I tried to install their software but it keeps failing the DNS test. The status light on the modem kept blinking, indicating a problem. I called and they scheduled another appointment. I then went out to watch a little TV and my cable tv signal was very poor. Hmm, I said. I went outside and checked out the splitter he had installed. It was hooked up incorretly. He had my modem hooked up to the input side of the splitter and the input
line hooked up to one of the outputs. I switched them around and now my tv signal is fine but the modem was still blinking. I unplugged the modem for 1/2 hour plugged it back in and got everything going. I went to
