If you're having to reset it all the time to restore your connection and the cable company has confirmed that you have enough signal.

Or if it catches on fire. I kid you not, I had a client whose cable modem started smoking and then it caught on fire. Luckily, they were smart enough to unplug the damned thing. But before that, dropped connections, resets galore. Now I know how to tell if it's going bad ^^

we had one in the office that just dropped connections...had to argue with the cable company for a while and then they let me swap it out...end of problem
