Cisco Modem Losing Upstream Lock
We upgraded our service back in July and that upgrade required our modem to be replaced. Now, I've been battling this for 2 months now....
Every day the modem loses it's upstream bond and eventually restarts on it's own to start the ranging process again. This is not acceptable, especially when we are trying to process a credit card transaction and the customer must wait up to 10 minutes while the modem reconnects.
The service techs have replaced the cable coming to our building as well as the modem itself, but it still continues.
If there is some way this could be escalated to be traced at the head end or farther down the line, it would be appreciated.

I appreciate your detailed reply, Jim. I apologize for the connection lose but this is always a great place to talk and get support as we are a dedicated team that is here to help resolve any concern. I promise I will take the right actions to help. I can imagine how inconvenient this is for your business and all users that are trying to get online. My diagnostic check does not show any timeouts, but I can get an appointment scheduled so we can refer work to maintenance if needed. I was wonderland if you have any devices losing connection that connect directly to the modem.

All equipment is hard wired and I don't lose connection to the modem. Normally when it happens LAN remains connected, WAN is what dies.
The only time I lose my LAN connection is if the modem does a complete reboot. But that's expected.
Which you can add to the list of when it's gone down:
Tuesday September 15th - 1:15pm (modem reboot on it's own)
Times I use in my posts are Eastern time.

There are several people that have spoken to me in private messages. So, probably not.
But I will continue to post the outages as they happen until they stop happening.
It happened again today at 1:37pm Eastern:

But I will say that this is getting extremely frustrating. This has been going on for 2 months now with no resolution.
