In my business tracking down a signal path issue can be a pain, so I understand the frustration. I would tend to agree with Genda, if the hardware itself is working then it must be the cabling.

Try to eliminate any internal wiring issues and maybe(?) have more evidence to present to Comcast.

Most of the time when I have networking problems it's a freaking cable. Tried changing all your cables? Most of the time when I have networking problems it’s a freaking cable.

I also have my laptop, phone, and Xbox 360 using the wireless network but if the modem disconnects, so does the router... @Thallian: Unfortunately I think Comcast is the only game in town. Also I get free cable tv as part of my condo fees so I'm only paying for internet from Comcast, which is still something like $62/month for their highest speed tier package. @Tipa: This is my 5+ yr. old desktop and previously I was using the desktop that died last month, so that makes 2 PC’s plugged directly into the router/modem.

Does the disconnection happen such that you can watch your modem and/or router try to reconnect? And if you can see the disconnection happen on your hardware, does it disconnect on the modem and the router, or just the router? Does it happen if you connect wirelessly (if your router supports that)? Have you tried it with another computer?

I love comcast, don't get me wrong, I think they are the best deal in the US (of the poor deals we get) But if they aren't providing you with consistent service switch to another non-cable provider so that you're riding on a different system. change your provider.
