Update on this. The first line support kept telling me it was some sort of "activation issue" at my end, and would be fixed Monday morning. I was skeptical about this, and I then got a call from one of the installers telling me he would come over to fix my problem on Tuesday morning.
I had to come to the office, and luckily my wife was able to stay home in the first half. The problem turned out to be a blown box in the condo riser which he fixed. The services are back now.
On a separate note, the router (Cisco E1200) seems to be absolute crap. I need to restart it every few hours, and the maximum uptime I have gotten from it is probably 12 hours or something. I wanted to know if we can use our own router with TIME? I have my eye on the Asus RT-AC68U, but waiting to save up some money. Appreciate any input or feedback on if this is a good combination.
Second, the "Boost" I seem to get is 30mb, whereas in some places it says 50mb. I have the 24mb package so I would hope to get 50mb, but not sure what the policy is?
Hi Bro,
Glad that yr connection is back online

What do you mean by a 'blown box' ?
Vry unfortunately Cisco Linksys products nowadays are not as promising as previously. We had spotted this disconnection issue & alrdy feedback to Time.
The previous firmware though has some high bandwidth bottle neck issue but it seems much better as it does not have this disconnection issue.
Of course you can replace it with yr own router (jus that Astro/ Time will not provide technical support on that)...but need not worry...buzz me. ..our team wil assist you in any equipment related to Time products.
Asus RT-AC68u wil work as well as its predecessor AC66u... jus tat the price is steep. ..lol
Astro Free Boost for 24Mbps is only up to 30Mbps.
Just log in to your Selfcare panel at
http://selfcare.time.net.myClick on Boost Manager, select how many hours you want to boost & click the Boost button.
Time package (Internet only without Astro), you're able to boost up to 50Mbps for 30 hours/month.
