In case anyone was/is wondering where I've been (not that it seems anyone was/is) - I awoke at eight-thirty to find Time Warner Cable completely down. There was a recording on their phone line saying there was an outage in my area and environs. They had no ETA. So, I did some stuff, then did the long jog, and at about 11:55 I'd had it and could see the modem was still not working. I powered down the computer, grabbed it, my hat, and my keys to go over to Panera. As I was about to leave the modem suddenly came to life, as did Airport Extreme. I put everything down, powered up the computer and Time Warner is back. Unbelievable.
