My landline phone is by a cable box. I get the internet and phone by
it. Could get TV but use Direct TV.

About once a week when I am on the phone the service breaks up so bad
that we can not use the phone. If I pull the power plug and then put it
back in we are good for another week or so.

The internet does not seem to be affected and works very well at over
200 mbps or whatever .

I am going to take the box back to the Spectrum prople once the virus
scare is over and ask for another one.

Has anyone else noticed this problem ?

Oh, I think it's part of a generalized low-level hinkiness seen across
many large scale systems caused by so many folks working from home-
systems engineers, techies, etc.- with only skeleton crews on hand in
many central facilities.

It's a credit to all of them- and the underlying technology- that things
are working as well as they are.

Keep the faith. When things simmer down, all will go back to normal...
