Well I guess I will switch it out, would that explain my modem resetting itself and then my phone line gets disconnected?

No, that is more likely a signal issue.

So should I get a new modem and have someone check it out?

You can post the signal levels here if you wish, and we can give input on the possible cause, but I don't think anyone here will be able to actually fix the issue. You can find the signal levels on the modem's 192.168.100.1 website. Here is info about what your signal levels should look like.

So I went down to cox and received a new modem, it's a Cisco DPQ3212 and so far I've had no lost of signal and my speed has increased. So will see what happens, thanks I appreciate all the help.
