You have to perform a refresh/renew on the connected NIC (or reboot your router) to regain connectivity from/to your network. You never used to have to do this.
I think #2 is what azcomposer is referring to.

#1 Seems to be a firmware bug in the modems, they don't like having their downstream frequency changed.
#2 Affects me on 50Mbit as well, most annoying. I'm not sure why this is the case but speculate that the modems don't want to talk to our kit until they've seen a DHCP transaction from it after a loss of connectivity.
These are likely all fixable via a modem update or a CMTS firmware update - are you connected via a Motorola BSR or via a Cisco 10k? if you aren't sure post the first 3 numbers in your IP address and I'll tell you.
Cheers.
