This problem irks me.

I spent $100 on a new cable modem, the same one I had originally (Before something was spilled into it and it was destroyed...) and I keep having straaange problems. The cable company says it not their fault, and I agree now.

So I have random times where my connection is just LOST. The only way to get it working again, is to unplug the modem.. wait a little bit.. plug it back in again, and all is good. Sometimes it happened 5 times a day... sometimes none.. and sometimes more than 10.

Now after all these months I FINALLY figured out what I was doing at the time of the disconnections. It ALWAYS happens when I am downloading something! Whether it be a torrent, limewire, a website... and update for a program, anything, I get disconnected.

I have no idea what's going on, I think the internet hates me.
