Consider setting a firewall between you and the cable company.  You can fin=
d software firewalls which you can set up on an old computer online.  IPCOP=
 is a good one to start with.  This way you can determine if the interuptio=
n is local or from outside your home.

COX Internet/Digital Cable Help!?

I am defaulting to you guys for help.... as the onsite service technician s=
ays that I have a strong signal by all the testing that he can do, and othe=
r than a number of loose connections in my junction box he could not find a=
nything wrong...other than a bad voice line filter which he replaced.
I have had off and on troubles for about three years// yet when a technicia=
n shows up there is nothing wrong!
The issue is.. I drop internet signal per my monitoring software (The Net U=
ptime Monitor V1.8.1 02/26/2014)  for about 10-20 seconds.. this drop can h=
appen as often as every ten minutes or once every 12 hours I never make it =
to a thirteenth hour!  When this drop happens I also loose sync on my digit=
al tuner that is connected to my TIVO.
I have run the on site COX speed test and it even shows the drop of signal =
in their graph... but my over all speed is greater than they support.
I have an older Cisco DCP3850 (three years or older) WiFi/Modem with the la=
test firmware dated April 2015, it is a DOS.3 rated combo device.
I would think it was a modem if only the Internet was effected... but also =
affecting digital cable and the service technician saw where I could not tu=
ne into digital channels (2208 and above) while the loss was happening (oth=
er channels worked fine).
Now the issue has gotten worse since the rains of 7/21/15.
So what could be causing a unsteady signal, so I can inform COX to check th=
eir part XYZ??
