moca is for providing a data connection over the coax wiring. The main use is getting data to Flow's cableTV boxes for things like replay TV, cloud recordings, TV guide, video on demand, etc.
If you find your cable box not showing the TV Guide etc, rebooting the modem and then rebooting the cable box usually solves it.

I use my own router and I confirmed that is not the problem as it happens with wired connections as well.
Contacted flow and they cant seem to find the problem.
When it happens, wifi is completely fine, just no internet connectivity for about a minute. Lights on modem normal then after about a minute it comes back like nothing happened. Rinse and repeat.

Issue was reported.
Contacted today still no details what caused the issue and how soon to expect service to return.
Hopeless FLOW .

Sometimes you have to get on like a warahoon. In addition to calling, go post on their FB page and send FB messages.

Had this happen for a while and they had diagnosed it as a signal problem with my upstream and it was explained that the signal would spike and go above the acceptable limits
They added a filter to the line and it stopped - the only downside is that any work done on the lines (on the poles) may affect the signal (drop it below the limit) - This would mean if it happens again - I would just have to remove the filter
Next time it happens, call and ask them to check on it

Working pretty good tbh.

Because of the same problem, Flow sent a technician by me this week. He took one look at my Arris black modem and said that he would change it because sometimes the modem degrades performance.
When I catch myself, he replaced it with the CWC white one (which I had no end of problems with a few years ago).
He said that Flow does not bring in the black Arris modems again. My son tells me that the black modem is way better than the white one.
Took Flow over 4 hours to re-connect me because of some "internal issues" they had. I had to get on real bad.
So far, I have not had any drops. Keeping my fingers crossed.ragzinc wrote:S_2NR wrote:Anybody else get random internet drops that lasts about a minute? Sometimes it happens a couple times a day and other times wont happen for a week. But it mostly happens during evening and nights.

How you getting these upload speeds? What package you’re on?
Their max upload speed is 25Mbps on their most expensive plan
