Clearly the problem is outside your house. Many cable companies lease lines and other equipment from other sources. Maybe they (Knology) are not aware of who is doing what, or what goes on at that particular time, and their solution is to replace the modem.

Only a cable company can trouble-shoot such a situation. With equipment, they can pinpoint the location where the signal is dropped. This means that they have to be doing this at night; at precisely the time when your service goes down. This is how telephone companies pinpoint the source of phone line failure.

Your cable company is well aware of this trouble-shooting technique.
