I'd contact your isp and see if the issue is isolated to your account/ machine. Or if there have been other users within in the same node affected the same way with the same losses etc. If you have everything set onto a powerstrip or a ups (uninterruptable power supply), I'd flip it off, to purge the any cache on the modem itself) I've been using Motorolla's since early 95 with no issues.

Thanks for the replies.
Leaning toward Motorola SB5120.
I usually kill everything (puta,modem & everything else) every day or two.
99% sure it's just the modem.

When I first got that modem, ohh 4 years ago, the Cox tech said it was the best they cable modem they ever had. After years of dealing with crap I find out from 3 other DOCSIS guys that the modem really sucks... Get the 5120 - you'll be satisfied... |

You had broadband in early '95? Who was your provider, MediaOne? We didn't get BB in NB till '98, I think it was. |

They are all the same!!!
Dont worry about it, the MTBF (mean time before failure) on these devices suck.
It is not like you are buying a high end switch or router...the cheaper the better.
They all must run the DOCSIS protocol and there are no "extra features" that you can configure.
The one advantage of getting your modem froma cable company is that they will replace it for free....but you have to pay them so much per month.

I know that M1 started up in 96 in the towns around Needham (worked on the project when it first started)...plust DOCSIS was not around until much later around '99 |
