Cable Modem Fault help needed

Hiya Guys,
Firstly let me say I have visited this site several times before, but was until yesterday lucky enough to have not needed any help.

The problem I have developed, is that my cable modem has started to just suddenly flash the ready light (so I loose connection).

It started yesterday, and Tech say there is no known area fault.

Intermittently it comes back as a continuous light and I can use it again, but its impossible to game atm, as I have major lag, and then frequent disconnects as the modem does yet another quick reset and come back on (if i dont get this continuous ready light flashing again).

Turning the thing off for a long period does seem to help, but as I say means that I am unable to game at all, which I why I use the service (wow addict).

I am using the silver cable modem type, and wonder if anyone has had similar problems before, and how they resolved them, basically I am after help pse?

I do have the engineer booked for tommorow, but would like a little more insight into what the prob could be, before they arrive. As I have heard that the silver modems often struggle with the 10mb service (my current service)?

Thanks for reading, and hoping for any reply/help pse.

Marcus
