This could also cause drops to occur to the modem from Metrocast's head end (due to the saturation of the link).

This may not be the fix, but it is an easy thing to test and I can not tell you how many times a bad cable has halted traffic on gig links. Always start with the physical layer and move up the stack..
Hi Knot Droolin'

I doubt that this is the issue, but for you, I will give it a try.

Thanx!
