Some Cox lines, like mine, are noisy.  It comes and goes.  When it got really 
bad, I called them.  They sent out a repairman with a noise meter.  He replaced 
the line in my backyard and that helped some.  After the Toledo FBI raids, I 
quit using my cable modem for anything but browsing and email.

I've been told that they push new DHCP addresses every 8 to 24 hours.  That and 
port blocking are done to enforce their "no servers" policy.  Who knows, they 
might have decided they don't like TS.
