Why do I have to keep rebooting my modem

Hello,
I have to keep rebooting my cable modem about every 3 days sometimes it drops out during downloading or when I'm on Skype........what's happening?

Well, why don't you contact your service provider to have it exchanged. They might come and check the signal strength as well.

Errors.
Your modem has a small amount of memory used for error correction. Once the memory is full it can no longer work properly. A reboot clears the memory and it is able to function properly again.
