Ok, I'll add my Comcast story.
For the last several weeks, it would get to around 12:15 EST, and bingo, down goes my connection.
They came out, and it just so happened they sent a tech whom we know socially. He actually gave us a new modem, telling us about the reburbished bullshit, too. Since we knew him, he did some other hocus-pocus with the connection, and basically said call HIM if it happens again.
Well, it happens now, but on an unpredictable basis. At least the old way I could plan for it around 12:15.
Trust me, it's because the DOCSIS 2.0 equipment is not able to get in "synch" with the DOCSIS 3.0 stuff that runs the VoIP feature for phone service.
Some of the techs don't even know about the issue.
