okay, so I've been on time warner's

about this...and they seem to have no solution to it, but maybe someone here does.
I have roadrunner here at my house in San Antonio, and my internet modem drops it's connection often and refuses to reboot for hours even after a forced reboot on the modem itself, and it can never reestablish a connection once it drops. after spending time rewiring everything, it finally reestablishes a connection...i've replaced all the wiring and it continues to drop the connection.
anyone have a clue why this happens?
i should note that I have returned about 5 modems referring the issue as a "defect", but obviously it isn't.
