Drops me from the Internet during Multiplayer PC Gaming. Losing stats and causing game suspensions (bad rep)

I have an issue that's been going on for 6 months now.

I've purchased several Routers, a new 3.1 cable modem (Arris Panaromic modem) but it still drops my connection right in the middle of gaming. This has caused several suspensions from multiplayer games and left a reputation that I leave during play. I get the same excuse on the phone that a technician needs to come look at the lines. Well I've had several technicians come to my house over the last 5 months. They all do something, but I still suffer from disconnects. One technician said it was my router that was bad, but I just pulled it out of the box. Then he switched to maybe there is an issue beyond our house because the line from my modem to wherever tested good. I don't know what to do because Cox is the only one that can bring high-speed internet to my neighborhood.

I got to cable modem status page and I see the following items when I get a disconnect (Removed anything referencing a mac/HW address):

  • Hi JustNeedReliableInternet, your modem is reporting a high number of T3 and uncorrectable errors. I'm glad you have a service call scheduled for this afternoon. Please let us know how it goes! -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
