Funny...
My wife, who is working her "work-at-home" day, just called and said the cable was out. I walked her through powering the router and modem down, powering them up and had her tell me about the lights on the modem. It appeared the problem wasn't on our end. So, I told her she needed to call the cable company. She called me back in 15 minutes to say 2 things: (1) There was a tech on the way to the house and (2) it had suddenly started working again...so should she call and cancel or let the guy come and check it out.
Just pointing out how the cable companies have gone out of their way to get rid of the terrible service image they had years ago...while the phone companies, the "lessor gods", still have a "we'll get around to it" perspective.
