Internet Troubles Vid 1 - Time Warner Cable's Modem/Service in Nonresponsive Mode

Complete Computer Solutions uses Timer Warner Cable as it's Internet service provider. Periodically (every 1-2 months) the cable modem stops responding. Time Warner Cable has replaced our modem 3 times. The second modem was of a newer design and was dead upon connection/setup. The third was also of the same new design and appeared to function properly. The forth modem is a completely different brand (ZyZEL) than the previous 3 modem's brand (Ambit) and is touted, by several Time Warner Cable representatives, as the best cable modem they provide for commercial customers. Time Warner Cable has checked, rechecked, and replaced cable runs. Our modem simply goes into a nonresponsive state and will NOT return to operation until it is manually power cycled.

@TheDust323 What exactly happens in your case? I finally was able to convince TWC that it was it’s error. They have since corrected the issue, but only after years of issue.
