Last night my internet service cut out. Called the cable company that provides it, she walked me through a few steps and got it working again. (Basically unplugging and replugging in the router to the transmitter.)
The rep explained to me that sometimes as they send signals to the box which sometimes messes up the router. (Or something like that.)
ANYWAY, the same thing happened again a little while ago. And yet it's never happened before...not in the five years or so that I've had the modem. So, I was wondering if perhaps this means the modem itself it actually getting ready to quit. (or if maybe Comast is just doing some heavy duty signal testing)
Anyone have any words? How long should a modem last?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
