Hi all,
I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for about 2 weeks now (since I've gotten Fusion installed). In short, all my large file downloads via browsers (Firefox or Chrome) keep freezing mid-way, I have to pause/resume them each time. This happens in 99% of the cases when downloading any relatively large files, 50MB+ in size maybe. I suspect this problem affects some of the streaming sites as well. This problem persists through out all my home devices which use my home connection, both wired and wireless connections.
More in detail -- I've had AT&T (3Mbit) for many years before and never had this problem, all my downloads never froze, never stopped. I started noticing this only when I switched to Fusion and started using their new modem (ZXDSL 831II).
The modem acts as a bridge (default configuration) and sits behind my Linksys WRT600N router which is set up for DHCP configuration.
It doesn't seem to report any errors, BER test doesn't show any errors.
Latency Type Interleave
Line Coding Trellis On
Noise Margin(dB) 6.1
Line Attenuation(dB) 40.0
Output Power(dBm) 12.8
Attainable Line Rate(kb/s) 7596
Line Downstream Rate(kb/s) 6419
Line Upstream Rate(kb/s) 1019
Line Mode ADSL2+
Line Status Showtime
I tried turning Bitswap and/or SRA on and off, but that didn't seem to help. I am honestly at a loss here, having to watch for my downloads when they freeze is getting annoying, I've tried different browsers, cleared cache, etc, my hard drive which is an SSD has plenty of space left too.
Internet connection works fine by itself, doesn't seem to drop, but file downloads do. Everything else works fine too, I can stream full HD movies from HBO without any hiccups. (yay for Game of Thrones new season!)
All I can suspect at this point is the modem.
Anyone experienced any similar problems? Any advice?
Thanks.
