cable modem drops packets when running game in high priority

This is a discussion about cable modem drops packets when running game in high priority in the Windows Games category; this is odd but it seems there are times when the game i play if I play it at high priority then it seems that my cable modem will sit there for like 30-45 seconds sometimes with the downstream light doing nothing and the upstream sits there and blinks.
