Eric,

I had that problem for years here in the house I bought in NorCal. 
Turned out to be a 6dB attenuator that the Comcast installer had added 
to the tap-off that already had the right attenuation. Removed the 
attenuator and it's been rock solid. Earlier, I had found flaky coax 
connectors inside their box. So the modem was starved for signal. I 
understand these systems -- I installed them in Chicago in places like 
Sears Tower. :)
