I wish there was a reasonable (price and performance) alternative to cable here. I could deal with cutting my about $100/month bill between cable modem, cell phone, and EVDO.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. That's the second cable modem that I've switched out in a year! I took my cable modem to Oceanic today and it seems to be working fine so far.

Just yank the POS modem and drag its sorry butt down to the nearest Oceanic Office and demand a new one. They are pretty accommodating when you tell them the problem of it dropping out randomly for 5min at a time. I'm on my 3rd POS modem in 3 years now. The one before that lasted nearly 10 years.
