Over the past week or so, I have noticed an intermittent log dump from my DIR-xxx router sitting behind a Telus Actiontec modem.
The log is filled with lines such as:
user.err kernel: debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:2472.
At first I thought my router had gone 'south' because the dumps arrived regularly. After a day or two, the log dumps seemed to stop, then start up again for a short time.
The last few days, things have been quiet and the router seems to work as expected.
A scan of my system did not turn up anything unexpected.
The nagging question now is, was this a sign of someone 'probing' the router after getting into the Actiontec.
I have seen some reports that these modem are not very secure, though Telus is very reticent to talk about it.
Any comments or suggestions?

Having issues with my D-Link G3810
I was having issues for a few years with my old modem with keeping a connection consistently for years, Finally after it must have been 60 calls and 20 home visits. Telus sent me a new modem to try and see if it would fix the issue and it Did!.. However now i have a new issue with this modem.
The entire model number is Dlink DVA-G3810 BN/TL
The only issue i have with it is, Whenever i'm uploading data at a rate greater than 15kb/s (read, Its fine at or below 15) It will cause the internet to completely stop functioning, Be it a game (videogames, Or Some Facebook games do it) using the upload, Streaming data, uploading to youtube whatever.
As soon as it goes over 15kb/s upwards of 55kb/s, Nothing works, Skype will disconnect, Webpages refuse to load, Giving a connection refused error. However as soon as the game, Uploading, or whatever is stopped, The internet starts functioning again like nothing happened.
I've gone through the routers Settings pages and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. (and for troubleshooting purpose, i have put back in the old modem to test upload and it works perfectly fine, However my connection issues once again return)
Any support would be greatly appriciated please.

[BC] Did you know
That if you have any problem with installs billing anything to do with Telus.
That there is a 'Loyalty and Retention' department that you can contact.
Several years ago when I found this website I had never heard of that department for when I retired at 65 in 2001 they didnot have one at BC Tel.
These folks are really sympathetic and most helpful .They know which department to address with your problem.That is their job to help the customer. If by chance something went wrong at that level whether business or residentual there is a number 310-1000 and you will be referred to an executive of Telus that will sort everything out in short order for you.
I have never seen anyone being referred to these areas of the Company before on this website.I apologize if I am incorrect.
As in many large Companies Telus has incentive bonuses for employees that get new and added services for the Company.I imagine this is also true for all the other Companies in this highly competitive world.
Hope I have been of help......Kruisey

[AB] Office Internet/Phone
Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knows about setting up Internet/Phone under a business name away from home (In Edmonton). I looked at telus's web site for business but for what the internet is going to be used for the prices are out to lunch. The services will only be used part time and really only be sending/receiving a hand full of emails with light browsing. So I really don't want to pay the amount telus is asking, for such light use. Can I just get regular BASIC Internet/Phone service with telus, or because its under a business name will telus force the business service accounts with the crazy pricing. The only reason Id like to set it up under the business, is to be able to write it off.

[BC] Can't find any information on upgrading
I was told in my area they were offering higher speed packages, So i went to the telus website to check avail packages in my area, The website lists my address as unserviceable, Yet I already have High Speed enhanced (old name i guess from way back, its 2.5down 0.5 up).
Is there anyway to find out information on avail packages in my area?.. I was sort of hesitant to call thinking they would screw with my already existing connection.

What modem sync rate is required for HS 50?
For y'all who have been upgraded to HS 50, what modem sync rate were you getting before you got upgraded? My line was borderline for HS 25 so I'm wondering if it's good enough. The ALU is saying 61264 down and 11590 up. Is that enough?

[QC] New Cell Phone - Galaxy SIII vs iPhone 5 ?
Hi,
I currently have a iPhone 3GS.
My contract is going to end around December, so I have the "chance" to change my 3GS for a new device. I was looking at both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy SIII and I don't know which one to choose.... I was wondering if you guys have real life experience with both devices (bad or good) to help me pick up the good cell phone.
Also, if you have any suggestions for other devices, it is welcome as well! ;)
Thanks, very appreciated.

[BC] What does a Alfa box look like? Whats the Sync rates?
Lately I been seeing them do work on this big box in the Courtenay area near walmart in fact I drove by today and saw a telus tech hanging off the wires and working on a pole neer walmart in Courtenay. The box on the pole was enormous it was like 42 inches wide and like 75 inches high. The doors were open but I couldn't see inside and never wanted too lurk around like some kind of stalker. My close friend in the porn industry says you can hunt around the comox valley all day and never find these new boxes but there a few going up here and there. But I looked on line and only found info on DSLAM POTS CC and a few others but nothing on ALPHA? Is all I could see on the underside?

[BC] Sudden Downgrade loss of 56% overall bandwidth Channel Spli
Was I ever upset I was so happy that everything was working great with my new high speed package then suddenly about 3 days ago I lost 56% overall bandwidth. I called in and raged like a maniac at the same guy for like 1 hour. He said that they were focusing on the issue whatever that means but still nothing has changed!
Why did they wreck a good thing! I was so happy everything was working so well and its as if all they do daily is try and chase there last only customer off the network. Maybe I should stop buying their packages? We all have to eat but for some reason telus doesn't understand this. Its like I am wasting my breath and treated like dirt no matter how helpful I think my advice is. Maybe we should call up some scientists and try telling them how to build radioactive isotopes or something probably get the same guy.

V100H Unresponsive
Hi all,
When I attempt to login to my V1000h (running the latest .57 firmware, same problem back with .48), it won't let me see anything. Chrom gives me the error below:
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
Is there anyway to get the router to respond without resetting it? I can get access for about 30 seconds if I do a hard physical reset of the router... It doesn't impact my internet access - No problems with connection, just ability to connect to the router...

[AB] will my beloved ALU modem work on the 50mbps plan?
I like using the ALU on my 25mbps turbo service, and want just a simple modem, as I use a nice router with tomao firmware installed.

If not, what modem option will I have?
