The modem is fine; this is a very intermittent issue, like once every two months, if that, and caused further up the line. In the UK most of our internet infrastructure is, frankly, a bit shit, and maintained by a small subset of companies. These issues occur on every ISP I've had here, as unfortunately most rely on OpenReach's infrastructure. The reason I chose to automate it is that when I'm away from the house I want the connection to self-repair where possible, and resetting the modem is something basically everyone in the UK has to do sometimes to fix their line (seriously). Yes I could probably have A&A investigate it, but at some point, if it is an identifiable issue, they'd likely have to request an OpenReach engineer to work on something and then there's just the risk of it being made even worse.
