Business Class Periodic Outage

I'm noticing a pattern of outages. Generally at 11:45 PM we lose connectivity for 10 minutes or so. This is during a period when we are often taking backups from our central location.

 

If this is some kind of periodic maintenence that's fine, But I would expect it to be posted somewhere.

 

Do you have a scheduled maintenence site or subscriber list? This is the second time we've had to reschedule some traffic.

Another backup transfer interrupted.
This time approximately 1:15 AM 8/7/2015 again for 5-10 minutes.
I suppose I'm just going to have to call and open a ticket.
But I'll keep logging outages here.

After another interuption at almost the same time period, I managed to get in touch with business support by phone.

 

They scheduled a tech to come out the next day.

 

Our working theory was that the modem was doing a check for firmware at ~24 hour intervals, interupting connectivity.

 

The Tech they sent was very polite and knowledgable. Professional.

 

He checked some connections, moved a ground and replaced some connectors to eliminate variables, then set us up with a new modem (Cisco model).

 

He made sure the firmware took, tested the connection, and hopefully the problem will be fixed.

Update.

 

Right after the last post modem downed itself 2 times in quick succesion.

 

Afterwards download max dropped from 75+ mbps to -60 mbps.

 

Obviously something funny is going on.

stabalized after the last outage. Perhaps there was another firmware check?

Nope. It was DHCP for the router. Not sure why it was getting it several times...

Same IP each time. Also noting that the time zonef or NTP seems off.
