Ive been told by one person who knows about these things that the reason is the recent upgrade and that the silver modems dont support some of the info sent to them and it has damaged them all

Provably ******** - here's the logic:
1) modems are fine at a speed of 1Mb, since that was what they were doing pre-upgrade
2) majority of modems, even after the upgrade, are doing < 1Mb, since the majority are on 300k or 750k.
Therefore given that post-upgrade the majority of modems are not being stressed as much as a previous known good level, how can the upgrade affect them?
I'd love a remote self-destruct feature, or at least an STB setting that tuned into donkey porn on demand.
Anyway, be that as it may, it doesn't get us much further. This problem sounds very much like poor HFC condition (like most of the others I've looked at recently, he mutters under his breath).
