Ok, had old Webstar modem, Linksys wired router serving my desktop, roommate's laptop, and my Xbox 360. Starting about a month ago, the connection would cut off after about an hour. Worked perfectly the 2 or 3 months we had the service prior. Three techs have been out, blaming everything on our end, the wiring, the splitters, the router, the modem. Everything has been replaced to their spec (wire, splitters, Moto 5120 modem) except the router, but it acts the same with or without it. It works again after powercycling the modem, and cuts back off in something like an hour.
The last tech let it slip that there's about 5 people in our area with this sort of issue. Obviously, it's on their end, but does anyone here have a good hypothesis on what exactly is the issue, and what it'll take them to do to fix it? I ask because, after bitching them out to get my bill credited, I'm faced with waiting for them to fix the service, which was awesome when it worked, or go to DSL, which here in Baltimore is very mediocre. Thanks in advance.
