Anyway, it looks like the cable modem is dying sporadically on my end, especially during active use (not necessarily high-bandwidth use, just active) because doing a hard reset on the modem itself seems to fix the problem. I hadn't thought about a firmware update, I just thought Cox was being Cox. Thanks for the heads up.

It is a Linksys router, and I could recover it if I did a hard-reset (unplug the router and wait 20 seconds). I updated the firmware last week and I haven't had the problem since.
