Cox Internet down time

Since last night, just after midnight, my Cox Internet has been down six times for a total of 4 hours. Can you tell me if some server maintenance work has been going on? See table below for time frames and durations.

Thanks,

Robert C.

I looked from this end and I do see an outage linked to your account with a technician assigned.  I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

My Internet access was down again last night. This time for 8 hours. I use a service call Uptime Robot and it notified me that the "Cox Server" was not responding. So that would imply the problem is on the Cox end!

Example:

The monitor Cox Internet Host Name (ip ipXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.lv.lv.cox.net) is back UP (Host Is Reachable) (It was down for 7 minutes and 20 seconds).

The monitor Cox Internet Host Name (ipXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.lv.lv.cox.net) is currently DOWN (Host Is Unreachable).

My Internet access continues to go up and down this morning. Here are some of the cable modem log entries. I'm using a Netgear CM500 cable modem:

Any assistance on resolving this Cox Internet access problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Looking at the modem's uptime count it looks like it rebooted recently however other than that I'm not seeing anything that would indicate a problem.  You  might be able to try testing without the router and see if that produces different results.
