Hi I experienced similar problems here in Switzerland. It happend with FreeBSD as well as with OpenBSD routers. A solution I found is deleting the arp table entry of the default router of the cable modem provider (as a cron job). I did not investigate the source of the problem. Anyone got any clues?
