Re: [TWC] Throttling in Milwaukee?
said by MacLeech  :The cable company can ALWAYS reboot your modem remotely, either through SNMP command to the modem, CMTS command, or physically turning off the signal to/from the modems forcing a reboot to reaquire the signal. Right. But only the last one is sure to work, and the last one affects everyone on that frequency -- so it wouldn't be a good way to perform throttling.
If challenged, I couldn't tell you which modems respond to an SNMP command to restart or if there are different "deepnesses" of restart. And I don't know if you can reboot a modem from the CMTS outside of SNMP or interrupting the signal to a whole group. However, none of that applies to this guy's problem.
Good metaphor about the TV & kids.  I found that Nyquil worked wonders. 
PS: to answer your next question -- both.
