[colug-432] problems with roadrunner?

[Bill Baker]

No problems here, but you might want to check out Rick Hornsby's ruby
script for getting the levels from the modem:

If one or more of the levels is out of whack, call Time Warner and
demand a tech come out to your home to fix it, unless they're able to
confirm that it's an area issue.

If you can't find anything wrong with the SNR levels, try a speed test
at http://rrspeeds.com.
