[QUOTE="JasonSnake, post: 12304671, member: 35767"] A lot can do with the speed test. If his speeds decrease over a short time, having to power cycle the thing all the time, it could mean that the cable modem is only able to operate just a tad above the threshold SNR of 20db's. Once it gets hot, SNR is impacted, and finally the modem is not strong enough anymore to maintain a steady, synced connection to the service. If it's hanging by a thread, it can probably pump in/out a few Mb/s then drop. Modems DO go bad too, more often then you think. And I never said this is the problem, but the speed one thing to look at. Now, as you said, it would be proper for the OP to get a tech out there to check all the signals before buying another expensive modem. [/QUOTE]
