Cannot reset CMD31T modem

Have not been able to factory reset this piece of crap since the day I bought it.  Time warner swears they don't reprogram modems, modem manufacturers tell me they give them update software.

 

Which one of you is a liar ?   I cannot troubleshoot an intermittent connection because I cannot get modem information even after hard reset.  Getting REALLY p*ssed off.

    Hello Answerplease 

     

    Every firmware is sent by us to the the ISP from there the ISP makes whatever changes  they feel necessary and then they push out all the firmware to the customers modems when they are ready to do so.

      I suspected as such, why do you allow them a backdoor to hose the whole thing up such that I can't get into the modem to change/check settings?

       

      You guys are really doing yourself a disservice by allowing them full access to (i'm assuming) onboard flash.

      BTW: if you go to the TWC boards since Charter ***** the customers.. I mean "bought" time warner. It' is nothing but " i'm constantly getting disconnected".

      Just got off the phone with them AGAIN for dropping me..

       

      dude was probably the most honest I have dealt with, he said " they hire a 3rd party company to call you and have you drop tech visits".

       

       

      and you wonder why people hate anyone involved with this stuff.
