Have you tried pinging vpn.ooma.com continuously either with
ping -t vpn.ooma.com
or using pingplotter (www.pingplotter.com)
and seeing if anything shows up when Ooma goes red?
It is rare, but sometimes the cable modem intermittently has trouble. If you can try a different cable modem or try connecting your Ooma to your friend's cable connection. If the pattern holds you only have to wait about a half hour before knowing whether it goes red or not.
