[outages] Comcast Netgear modem issues Nationwide??

[Mitch]

Sorry for double email. But also Comcast could NOT see the modems as
online so they can't do much of anything remotely to it. So i am
leaning more and more toward a bad firmware flash turning them into
pretty close to bricks.

Tier 3 tech said that they couldn't get routing working correctly.  Had to reflash the modem about 10-12 times to get it to work.  The guy was about to roll a truck, but then tried one last thing and got it flashed and working.  I'll call TWCBC and ask for them to pull the notes on the ticket and see if there's anything in there that could be useful.

In addition on the few that i had a backup link I was not able to ping the Static IP of the modem/Gateway(which is on the modem). So I am wondering if its a config issue. But it does look to be only STATIC customers.
