[olug] OT: Restarting the Cox Modem

[Eric Lusk]

I've had the sudden drop in bandwidth with no useable Vonage; thought maybe even my server was being hit by something...
But a reboot of everything fixed it, so I'm thinking it's just a normal abnormality.  It's only happened to me once in about a year, though...

relating the 4-5 month interval to co-worker: ROLF
2-3 weeks, that may be a little on the short order: scratch head.

Working for a provider, monthly to bi-monthly reboot isn't considered 
abnormal.

We work w/ this stuff daily, I question that even Cox goes so far as to 
place "carrier-grade" cpe. Making an assumption that any hiccups the 
line sees will cause the modem to retrain, possibly at a lower rate?

Running Wildblue at home, Run it till it doesn't work, reboot. Probably 
every 2-3 months. (No CHANCE of WB support VoIP with it's 800-900ms 
latency, so that may add to the reliability issue.)

Just my two-cents....
