They (CL) told me it was my modem, too. It was OK after three customer service rep’s and three days I was able to get it going on WiFi. Wouldn’t work direct Cat5 connection but would work on WiFi so they said my modem was bad. The next day it was working direct connection to router through the VPN like normal, weird. So far so good for two months now. Thank goodness I didn’t run out right away and buy another DSL router. FWIW, YMMV.

I also have CL. When ours was out for 3 of 5 days, they told me that they were upgrading the system. Since then, it periodically goes out for 10-30 minutes off and on.
My daughter switched to a new service a few months ago, and it’s working fine-so I’m going to get that number and make arrangements to switch, but I have to reorganize my space so they can get to the stuff to get it done.
