Default Re: PBW status

Well I feel rather sheepish. I reset the power to the cable modem a couple times yesterday and each time it would go back down after a few minutes. I was getting a little frustrated and about to call the ISP when I thought about disconnecting and reconnecting the cable line to make sure that wasn't the problem.

Before I even gave the cable going into the back of the modem a quarter turn it fell out in my hand. It was so loose I'm suprised it didn't fall out while I was recycling the power all those times over the last few weeks.

We'll see how it goes. I would bet we see a big improvement in uptime. If it keeps going down though I'll get ahold of the cable guys.
