I've had skinny fibre with their latest smart modem for around 8 months now. 

 

 

 

For the last couple of weeks, my link is dropping off randomly and staying down for various lengths of time. From a few minutes to several hours.

 

 

 

Skinny has sent me a new modem and it is the same. They are now telling me it is my cables which is just stupid. They escalted it to TFF And made me do a PPPoE test from my desktop and my desktop can connect only when the smart modem is able to connect. And never when the smart modem fails to connect. All different cables.

 

These are the logs on the modem everytime the link drops:

Jul 24 14:14:22 VRV9517 user.info autowandetect: AWD: detected Linux netlink event-3!

 

Any ideas?

 

Is anyone from skinny/spark watching this forum?

 

Is there a way to attach the full log to this post?

cbrpilot:

 

What did TFF say about the connection?

 

 

 

 

TFF came and replaced the ONT. They claimed that the signal strength was good enough and the problem was not on their side... but replaced the ONT to make sure.

 

 

 

The problem disappeared after that. So, it was the cabling and the ONT which was the problem.
