cell phone vs cable modem


Question Posted Friday June 30 2006, 1:06 pm

Ok, so every time my cell phone rings, and its any where near my cable modem, the signal gets interupted, and I get booted off the internet. Also, the speakers make a funky sound. Does anyone else have problems with this? And is it something that could just be wrong with my modem, because its still under warranty (I think).

Its a motorolla ROKR and a SURFBoard modem if that matters.

If you dont want to interupt your connection with your computer, i suggest keeping the cellphone away from the computer, because it has happend to me as well, all ya gotta do is keep it away from the computer, there is nothing wrong with the computer, dont worry.

I have the same problem.

If you look at my computer like 2 seconds before the phone rings until it stops ringing; the screen shakes and whatever i'm listening to skips and stuff.

I called my internet company and they said its the reception. Because the cell phone has interference with your cable modems signal.

Hope I helped

um why did I get a four.
I answered what you wanted.

well, i cant really answer for your getting booted off the internet- but i know that mostly anyone can relate to the noise it makes on the speakers. the same happes when the phone is close to a stereo, or radio- and sometimes- when we're on a family vacation- it piks up on the car speakers in our van, as well. its jsut n interference with the waves that the phone is on, and the waves the computer/stereo/car radio is on.
