I have TW RR service and techs are more than willing to come out and take a look. It's free too. I would suggest you have one come out.

It's no big deal that your modem has a 100MB port because your downstream speed won't even come close to that.

sounds more like a line issue than a modem issue. you can loginto most modems and see a log/status. if you do this when you lose your connection, you can tell where the issue is.
