I've had the exact same problem. I have had repeated connection problems 
and I'm about 100% certain that it is directly related to the wiring 
from the box to my house, and that it is simply that Time Warner is too 
lazy to fix it. They have came out repeatedly to check out my connection 
and keep 'changing things around' but they are never here for more then 
a few minutes.

Regards,
Tom
