My internet is down a lot, could it be the modem?

Question

My cable internet is down a lot. The modem shows that it can receieve, but cannot send.. The send light for the modem is flashing. I then always have to unplug my cable wires, turn off the modem, then replug the wires, turn the modem back on like 4 to 10 times or more before the internet will work again. Then the internet would only work for 1 hour max, then is down again. Thus, I have to re do the process off unplugging wires, turning off ect. What can be wrong? Is it my modem that is defective or is it something wrong with the cable wires?

I know it isnt my router, i have unplugged for the router, and connected directly into my computer, internet is still down...

Answer 1

Change ur Modem

Answer 2

Might also be your cable - call the company, they can test the line remotely to see if there's any static on your wiring.
