There are conditions when you are connected and all lights seem normal but checking the modem signals would show as off line or signals so poor that actual throughput is impossible.
OTOH, I have seen many cases where the ISP was having IP connectivity problems, and a bridge modem would show everything was normal (both indicator lights and signal/status displays). And sometimes in those cases, even a connected router might initially seem to indicate that everything was connected and normal (except that no traffic would pass) until you did a resync on its WAN interface.
