I have random disconnects throughout the day. It affects both my tv/internet, though tv to a much less extent. The tv will just get a line through it for a second, the internet disconnects for about 30 seconds. This has been going on for half a year. Ive had comcast to the house 6+ times and they cant seem to find the problem. They replaced the line outside to the box but the issue is still happening. They said that our noise ratio was high compared to our neighbors in the area. I first noticed the issue after a week after a really big storm hit our area. Disconnects happened a lot during the summer, seemed to only happen once or twice a day during the fall, but so far this winter they have been picking up again.
i'm really at my wits end on this, i cant really change my isp because there are no better choices in my area. i havent gone to any forums to gather any ideas so i figured i would try since the disconnects are happening more often. again this happens to my tv+internet at the same time but affects the internet much more.
there is one idea thats been in the back of my head but i really dont know if it could have any affect as i know little about electricity. I know that from one of our outlets in our basement that if you any electronics in the outlet, when touching the metal on said electronic emits a continuous shock and numb feeling. now from information gathering i believe this is caused due to a bad ground? could a bad electrical ground be causing feedback into our cable lines and creating a high noise and causing my disconnects? is this why comcast cannot find our problem?
sorry if i rambled at all... any help or ideas of what the issue is would be greatly appreciated.
