    Cable Modem kills Coaxil cables?

    This is a strange post, and thus I was unsure where to place it. I think my cable modem, a terayon, is killing coaxial cables. It goes down on a consistant basis and the only way to revive it is to swap out cables. The modem will only connect with a cable that has not been used with the modem...
