Cable Modem Problems UPDATED

I changed this rant because the cable company has made major efforts in fixing the problems with our connection yesterday.

It certainly took a long time to finally resolve the problem, and as of right now, I'm still not exactly sure the connection is fixed, but Time Warner has done a lot to try to fix it. Yesterday, they ran a brand new cable to the house from the pole, and our connection has been working since they have done that. The main test is when the weather warms up above freezing and the ice on the lines melts. If there's still a short, the water will cause the signal to weaken and the cable modem to fail. That hasn't happened yet, but it's been below freezing since they replaced the line.

We'll see what happens...
