You can take a look at the modem's logs. Try going to 192.168.100.1 (for most
consumer cable modems) to get to the web interface.

Yeah I would test directly to the modem and see if that's a problem.

Dino,
the problem happens on his home machines (desktops and laptops). Both
wifi and wired.
Adam,
Is it possible to hook a computer directly up to the modem and see
if the issues are persistent after bypassing the internal home
network?
Ans: Yes
Could there be someone downloading a bunch of "Online Content"?
I have not been on site yet (his home). I thought about this and I am
suggesting ways to isolate the problem if the issue is a bot or virus
running on one of the client machines.
Is the home network WiFi only? Wired? or both?
Ans: Both
Is there a possibility of a network loop?
Ans: This is a basic Cox home account, no special network topology.
Chris...
