think this is all caused by too many people w/ infected computers in my area constantly scanning and stealing all the bandwidth?
i have numerous SYN flood attacks in my router's log as well as my cable modem showing "HFC: LOST TRC SYNC- trying to recover" critical errors. searching around showed me that the cable modem is losing it's downstream frequency or something and keeps resetting itself. or...this is 2 different issues.
my pings have gone to hell for online gaming and speeds way down from normal...been going on a few days now.
edit: i started to check the logs because my modem's activity light is constantly on...for over 2 days now. not normal at all...
the cable modem page i found is here: cable modem info

hahahaha! too funny.
charter here as well. when i called them today the guy said:
"oh, um, that might be happening if we're doing maintenance in your area"
me: "for over 2 days straight?"
him: "oh...i have no idea then"
me: "alright"
him: "yeah, i don't know what would cause that. i have no idea...hmmm"
not that i expected the level 1 dude to be able to actually help me beyond passing me to someone that knows something. hehe. rule #1 in business and tech support is to never say "i don't know". just say "let me record your information and investigate".
