Server just went down again. Tried to get back on & only showed 500 users...lol
Actually, I made that comment as a biased observer from the view of someone who's worked in the call center. Yes, I did say that "good" and "Verizon" shouldn't be used in the same sentence, but when a call center that has about 50 contracted employees just on my shift field thousands of calls ranging from no services working to people not knowing what it means when the remote doesn't work, you kind of get the feeling that the services are worth crap. And I also noted that this was around 7 years ago.
I feel the same about all cable/internet services, really. But like I said, it's a biased opinion, and I don't claim to know how well those services work in a normal household on an average day.
It's also noteworthy to mention that I've also worked as an install tech for a contractor for TWC. I've seen some terrible situations, like previous techs using two amps in a house, using three or more splitters on a line, etc. I've even seen shoddy internet service and pixilated/tiled cable services improve 10000% just by changing a fitting. One fitting. I've seen squirrels chewing through lines, I've seen cable services being grounded to, of all things, gas meters, etc. So yeah, I think it'd be wise to do as Inubashiri suggested and ask your landlord to call and have a tech come out, especially living in an apartment where your sharing cable services with each of those people in the apartment.
But hey, what do I know? After all, all these non-forum users must be right, despite the fact that most forum users are just getting lag and random disconnects, or have gotten their "every hour, on the hour" problems fixed already.
BTW, the EXP event was from the disconnects due to the DOS attacks. And no, you never did tell me if you had cable services. By cable, I meant cable TV.
I guess you're right in a way. I should have said Verizon is a "Great" & provides "Great" service 
The amount of calls that come in to a call center has absolutely nothing to do with the quality. 've worked for Call Centers too, & close to 90% of the calls, are from users that don't know what they are doing. For example, I've experienced many calls from people that simply don't have power plugged in, and/or cables plugged in wrong. I'm sure you've experienced the same.
I know what you mean especially with TWC. I've also installed telephone outlets, in house & businesses, & have seen the same.
My Verizon box is plugged into a dedicated power outlet. Also I don't have any trouble with my Cable Service from them. I'm not sharing either with other people in my building. I believe you are thinking about phone lines, which are shared, from one apartment to the other. My building only has 4 apartments that are connected to one another.
I also don't have a "Lanlord". Apartment complexes, like the ones I live in, have Managers, & are owned by a large company, that owns multiple other apartments.
BTW look back at my very first reply to you. "I've the Verizon FIOS bundle for over 10 years, cable, internet, & phone." That means I have cable service too which means Cable TV
My only comment about Inubushi's suggestion, was that I didn't have a way to have someone come out & check the "grounding like an electrician", since I live in an Apartment, & that I didn't have an Electrical issue, that was causing this.
It's pretty much impossible, to see how many others are experiencing d/c's too, based on this post. We can try to get a better idea once next weeks maintenance thread is posted, & possibly Tiki Tuesday. I for one only read those two threads on a regular basis. The only time I post and/or look for something, in "Community Chat", is when I have a question. I really only do searches for things I am looking for. You can also tell by the view count that not many people have read this. I would also venture to say a lot of the views are from the same users.
