As I used to troubleshoot and install Cable modems, make sure the tech has a meter to take readings to find out if you have any interference or such (he should take readings starting from the modem, to the cable box, to the tap). You might have old cables in your apartment or house that can cause problems. Also, there should be minimal connectors (any type of them, but mainly splitters) between the tap in the ground or on the pole, to the modem itself. In other words, straight line from tap to modem is best, maybe a cable box in between (if possible). If no problems are turning up, if have to, have them replace the modem AND to make sure it's sync'd BEFORE they leave. It ONLY should take a few minutes to do, including the phone call to the rep at the computer to input the new modem numbers. Sorry for the OT on the reply (well HE started it hehe), but figured this might help others with cable modems as well.
