I pinged my server, which is 204.2.229.103. I assume 204.2.229.9 is the pinger's server. I don't know for certain

I was simply trying to say that the problem is likely an issue local to the user. If you are experiencing frequent disconnects and/or lag spikes over a number of days, call Cox and have them come out and do a line test. Try also checking your modem's web management server (if it has one). I believe it's usually found by typing "http://192.168.100.1" into a web browser. Lastly you can always reboot/reset/replace your router (if possible). Most people have already tried some of these already.

The last time I was experiencing frequent disconnects and lag spikes, it turned out that line that runs to my block was mauled on by some animal. And it wasn't discovered until they did a visual line check of the line. This was causing a dip in line signal power resulting in a poor connection. It took them two or three days to find and repair it.
That is totally unrelated to this issue.
