OT Cable Modem Woes

[Michael Butash]

Your mention of "craps out during the day" or night usually means 
there's a thermal conductor issue, why I mentioned it.

It sounded dumb first time I'd heard of it, but dealing with cable 
companies across the country, began seeing this and other weird phy 
issues related to the region and climate.  Moving back to AZ and working 
at cox for a bit, saw all the weird stuff we get here specifically too.  
Tis a harsh state...
