Maintenance Ticket Update

I created a maintenance ticket for a bucket truck in my neighborhood.  Luckily I found an agent actually willing to text Tier 2 in order to get it going as no one lese knew what they were doing.  I have 16QAM on my Channel 6 Upstream when it should be 64QAM and it is wreaking havoc every night with severe bufferbloat and packet loss.  I believe the ticket is [EDITED: Personal information.]but over those 4 hours, 4 calls, 7 agents, 2 supervisors and two dropped (disconnected by supervisor) calls I don't know what ticket number is what.  Some were escalations to supervisors, some were tech tickets to my house.  They have been out multiple times replacing the modem, telling me my router was the problem so I am now on router 3, the problem persists through all these iterations.  I just need to know whats going on. I suspect a loose fitting somehwere at the node or maybe water in the line.  They said 3 days last Wed, its been over a week.

Still having issues:


Neighborhood maintenance was completed on 03/09, but Upstream Channel 6 is still hard-locked at 16QAM. My telemetry is still capturing latency spikes over 50ms (latest today at 10:20 AM) and my upload speeds are inconsistent. This indicates Ingress Noise is still back-feeding into the node from the neighborhood return path. I need a line tech to perform a 'noise hunt' on the upstream.

Period: March 9, 2026 (05:00) to March 13, 2026 (10:30)

Status: 16QAM Lock Confirmed (Channel 6)

Timestamp WAN Download WAN Upload Bufferbloat Signal (RSSI)
2026-03-09 07:45 481 Mb 18 Mb 111.84 ms -29 dBm
2026-03-09 15:40 813 Mb 40 Mb 64.44 ms -30 dBm
2026-03-10 10:10 781 Mb 28 Mb 57.08 ms -35 dBm
2026-03-10 17:15 642 Mb 28 Mb 78.67 ms -30 dBm
2026-03-10 23:05 778 Mb 31 Mb 71.58 ms -30 dBm
2026-03-10 23:30 549 Mb 15 Mb 68.44 ms -29 dBm
2026-03-12 05:45 424 Mb 20 Mb 77.19 ms -31 dBm
2026-03-13 10:20 870 Mb 40 Mb 57.28 ms

Notice that at 23:30 on the 10th, my upload dropped to 15 Mb and the bloat stayed high. On a Gigabit plan, that is a 70% loss of upstream capacity. Because my modem is stuck in 16QAM, it doesn't have the "width" to handle even basic background traffic without lagging.

can we please resent a maintenance to inspect further.

Also. I noticed.... "I believe the ticket is [EDITED: Personal information.]but over those 4 hours".  Why was the ticket number edited out.  That *IS* important information.  Now who knows what maintenance ticket was not properly completed.  Silly silly editors.  It wasnt personal information.
