It happened again. This time, my son was complaining of packet loss. I called up my ISP and told them what was going on over the phone. They looked at my account and asked how long ago I had rebooted the modem (I had just done so recently). So, they suggested that I replace the modem. I just got back from the walk-in-center and installed the new modem. Everything seems nice again...
But, I've been thinking.... I've replaced more cable modems then I think any other component... I've bought maybe 3 CPU's + Mobo's in the last 8 years, but I've certainly replaced the modem even more. Video cards, yeah, I've likely changed them more than CPU's, but still.... Not more than Cable Modems...
So, I wanted to ask you guys:
How often do you guys who use Cable modems have to change yours?
