to combine a previous post and this, rather than using the OpenDNS servers, one could use the ones from Adguard: 176.103.130.130, 131

A debt would show Oct 1 if done on that date but not a deposit. A money grab yes but those are the way they do things and that is what is expected.

Thank you. Microsoft is sill supporting Windows 7, but they stopped supporting Windows XP. Both Windows 7 and 10 are mature and popular. Some people are concerned that Windows 10, although newer and better, might have more privacy leaks. If you have it already, it's a good purchase and I'm sure you will enjoy using it! :)

I upgraded early from my Windows 7 Professional operating system to Windows 10 home OS being bought MS legal license from ODosta Store, Which takes 5 hours due to the internet slow speed, But faced many technical issues.
Beside of, I got everyday new updates from Microsoft servers, That's why I disappointed with performance of new OS, That's why I format it and again install windows 7.
Last week, I read at your blog as Microsoft has stopped continually updates and now we may use constant windows 10, So I purchased its license and upgraded my OS.
Now its working well. Thanks for providing us great information and support.

Microsoft is tying product keys to accounts now. If you're not on a fast release (as most people), you only had until July 29 to find out yours. But for the most part, you don't really need it. You can also try the free ProduKey from MajorGeeks.

Actually Packet8 is now 8x8 and they support G.722 HD on Polycom and Cisco Phones, along with G.729a for lower bandwidth requirements and G711 for compatibility and softphones. Additionally they utilize G.711+T.38 for Fax lines.

The Customer Serial Number is located on the bottom of the packaging box [a 12 digit number].

I just went through this exact same problem with my ISP. For some reason Customer Serial Number is not included on either the sticker attached on the modem, or on sticker attached the manual.

However, on the bottom of the product packaging box is a sticker with the following info:

P/N: XXXXXX-XXX-XX {11 digit number]
CUSTOMER S/N: XXXXXXXXXXXX [12 digit number]
S/N: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [24 digit number]
HFC MAC ID: XXXXXXXXXXXX [12 digit number]

Whereas on the modem and on the manual are identical stickers with only this info:

P/N: XXXXXX-XXX-XX {11 digit number]
S/N: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [24 digit number]
HFC MAC ID: XXXXXXXXXXXX [12 digit number]

I don't know why it is left out on the other stickers, but supplying your ISP with the Customer Serial Number should resolve your provisioning problem.

Best regards,
Sean

Did you get the same modem?

Funny you are pointing out the same observation I did with my modem. I switched to DOCSIS 3.0 in 2009 and I have seen my speed raising from 20Mbps to over 50Mbps. Pretty neat when you pay only for less bandwidth. However in 2011, I have noticed that the speed was going between 20 to 30Mbps only. Slower but still good. Having done some research I've read somewhere that during the migration phase to DOCSIS 3.0 from 2.0, the ISPs weren't controlling the speed until they were done, hence the speed loss. However I can't complain, I pay for 20Mbps et get 30Mbs, still a free bump!

Deposits generally show immediately on the account - THIS is how the system is supposed to work. Sometimes there may be a hold placed before one can access the funds, but in my case that had been long ago removed.
