Mines been cutting out, but only for like 2 mins tops each time. Sometimes the modem lights would reset, other times the lights stay on but the webpages take forever to load.

I have no idea what a CX is, and is this "solution" in reference to my problem (as well as van19) where some pages load and some 404 randomly.

East Van -High Speed Extreme, 165GB DL cap, 22.5 bucks a month (student promo).





I am using a top-of-the-line router though. It's possible it's a router problem?... Unless you're doing direct-connect of course.

I have a buddy in Richmond who has the exact same plan as I have but he suffers with slower speeds and performances. Location can also be a possible factor.
