Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone else here is having constant issues with their HH3000. My phone is down tonight (this is the fifth time) and luckily Bell Aliant has their phone system turned off {or maybe they are down too lol} so you can't get hold of anyone. I have my home phone for ONE reason and one reason only..emergencies. I can dial 911 and someone will show at the door. I have just about 25% faith that my phone would actually work in an emergency. 120 tones/minute is all I hear. Pathetic.
My internet wifi coverage is poor despite my house only being a rather smallish wood frame bungalow. There are spots in the house where signal levels get so low that doing an Ookla Speedtest will reveal download speeds in the order of 0.3 Mbps. Uploads are better at the same location though, being in the order of 8 Mbps. I keep getting told that the HH3000 has the strongest wifi around. I don't believe it. They gave me an ethernet-to-cable extender system which fills in the coverage holes nicely when it is working. But that will stop working every 2 or 3 weeks and I have to go through a 3-reboot procedure to get it to reconnect to the modem. Irritating. I will say that anything connecting with ethernet to the HH3000 works fast.
I have a few internet services that i feed out to the world at large. I used to be able to monitor my own gears' performance with Eastlink here at my house. But not since I switched to Bell and the HH3000. I asked the network people at work what is going on as the Bell folks have been 'investigating' for months. My network people gave me an answer in about 20 seconds..... months later and I am still no further ahead than the day I signed up.
The saving grace for me not chucking everything has been the television service. It's not been bad...actually quite good. The menuing is (in my opinion) just about perfect. I've have pixelation issues by times. The signal strength meter on the main PVR unit is usually showing about 3/4 green bars. However, some days I come home and the bars are red, usually showing two of them. That's when the pixellation occurs. I bought an Apple 4K TV to watch Bell TV downstairs in the basement and that works well, as does the mobile app on iOS.
Overall, I've been very disappointed moving to the Bell service with the HH 3000. Going to call and see if copper-wire telephone is an option (probably not). Anybody know if there is a commercial grade modem that can work in place of the HH3000....? I am really starting to think that is the weak link and the source of my ire.
Sorry if my tone is negative....but it seems to be one thing after another....
