So here is the a list of things the yfound... and have fixed so far at charter.
1. My line service drop had a 10db loss replaced and fixed some issues
2. Replaced Cable modem to a new DOCSIS 3.0 allowing 4 channels of upload instead of the standard 1 that is available to a DOCSIS 1.0,1.1 and 2.0 or qam256
3. Replaced my line amplifer at the pole that was adding 4db of noise to my downstream/upstream

Now for what the real cause was

Charter for the last 3 months has been encountering spikes of noise in the updstream that has up until 2 weeks ago been so inconsistant they could not identify the failure as of wednesday they identified 2 node line amplifiers underload creating a frequency shift and adding up to 25db of noise to the upstream.
First let me state i am an electrical engineer a network specialist and a currently employees as a consumer electronics technician, let me say top rated not to toot my own horn but i am very good with electronics, and i have spend hours on the phone to finally get them to spill the bean on the fault i had to explain i understood what they were saying and was just interested in the fault because it was such a strange failure they tried to baffle with bullshit but here is the story i worked out from them...

Now after a lengthy conversation and drilling of my feild operations managers at charter he explained to me what they found. Turns out there are 4 apartment building on my node that as of 3 months ago had a fire when they did some exquipment in the complex was damaged charter thought all the damaged components were replaced after identify the line amps failure they followed the amp to a transient voltage coming from the 4 building complex, there were able to isolate 2 building but 2 others have a line condition in place until the complex manager can let them in to changed the remaining equipment, this has decrease signal to noise that should set at at lest 44db to a mere 38db but way up from my 20db i has been expriencing. So large improvement.

Put simply the amps got wet and are now shorting out inside so 4 $30 cable amplifers knocked out 974 customers in my area ther scary part is only 5 of them have been complaining as long as i have but as of monday 150 cases were open for service. The promise is this will be resolved no later then monday night and my service will be better then every before with new service lines for 90% of my connection to the node/fiber optic connection. As of right now my speedtest reported 44mb/s down and 6mb/s up so all is getting better and i am very happy.

Server: There have been some service improvements as well to help with some issues we have encountered. New Hard drive being one but also i am moving to a different permissions system and am testing it now, we also will be experimenting with a few tweaks to increase chunk handling.

TIN GEARS, turns out a workaround to fix crashing in 2.2.11 buildcraft is at fault i am working with the bukkit team to find a solution as my configs are corrected but being read in the wrong order, so for now still an issue. Also about the move to 1.1 there is a possiblity that a map reset will be required due to a configuration change in IC2 now using 10 new ids that have been in the past used by RP and a few addon Mods, There will be no vault as thanks to a dupe bug in 2.2.11 vanilla items have been duped includeing 30 blocks of diamond and 30+ blocks of gold and almost 40 blocks of iron. Also do to a glitch in the job system building and breaking has been used to glitch an unmanagable amount of wealth on the server.This will mean on 1.1 money will be reset and no vault we may not reset the map but a older version of the map will be used to restore to 1.1 if needed. As of now this is not set in stone and i will make every effort to move everything as is into the new 1.1 sytem and then the only requirement would be money and job fixes but as for now this is not a discussion point but more of a catching up with the events on the server. Also if you look at my signature line you will see a new hop.to address this dns will track my ip at all time is the plan so if my ip changed it will still allow a connection this will help manage the transistion to my new ip address if it changes again.

Last but not least IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE WILL BE MOVING TO THE NOW OFFICIAL FORUM DETAILS TO FOLLOW IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

ok first of all my last post lets put that in past im not in good mind set atm

secondly great news about connection lets hope they finally sort it

I said shh. As for the tin gear stuff I will put them in the admin shop for sale for a few bucks cheaper then crafting them

Wanna guess my issue oh right Internet is out again
