    the reason I asked is because more often than not (at least in this market) it IS in fact a modem (mine or someone else's on the node or something enroute like a bad amp) that is the culprit. That is why I use one from the provider. They don't charge extra for it (at least it's not line-itemed)--for $55 a month, they better @#$@#$ fix the connection for free....and they do. Modems and routers simply wear out over time....the question is just how long it takes for the capacitors to dry out and such.

    Hate to keep bringing it up, but did they test the same conditions on a known good modem, as in one of their own tested and verified to be in proper working order on their network? Did they scope out your neighborhood to make sure there isn't a problem with the node? I ask that because I had a commercial customer that wrangled with disconnection issues on a cable setup only to find out it was a bad modem several blocks down the line randomly knocking off an entire city block during peak traffic times.

    Again.. the game itself would do NOTHING to force your modem to reset. All the game does is hook into the OS's networking layer. What you have described sounds more likely either a line condition (whether that is an issue with the medium, or the physical connections to the PC/Power/Network), or something internal to the modem (IC failing, Firmware or other configuration problem, etc).
