2. it could be an issue further up the line or something they're not finding
It makes it hard when they've been out to check the line and aren't finding anything. I've had to rent a modem before just to prove to an isp it was actually a line issue and not my modem (I'd had 2 with the same issue)

Options?
I've actually rented a modem from an ISP before just to prove it was a line issue.
And again, it could be the modem. Its tough to prove without gambling a little.
So you can try having them come back out and see what they say, you can try renting a modem.
