[wplug] Comcast cable modem woes

[Jason Freshwater]

I would say to call and have them check signals to your modem.  Most of the
time, the modem may be losing connections due to poor signal quality.  This
could be due to everything from too much traffic, to possibly a bad
connector, anywhere from the pole to the modem.  A word of advice is that if
a service appointment is needed and it is a problem inside, you can get
around a service fee by subscribing to the Wire Maintance Plan for one month
at 3 dollars last time I checked.
