T3 Timeouts

Since I moved into a new house a few months back, I've been seeing packet loss issues on the upstream side of things, causing quality issues on Zoom/Google Meet/etc, meaning folks can't hear/see me properly, which has been a big problem especially since I work from home. When I switch to tethering to Verizon's mobile network, I have no issues.

I got a new modem recently that gives me some additional error logging, and can see that there are T3 timeouts. What would be the next step on Comcast's end to troubleshoot this, being that this is likely an outside plant issue?

Glad you reached out! Have you taken a close look at your wiring to ensure this all looks in good standing? Do you have a splitter on the coax from the wall to your modem?

@XfinitySheila Yes, no visible wiring issues that I can see. I do not have a splitter on the coax from the wall to my modem. 

There are splitters in my home wiring box, which I've replaced to no avail.

To provide an update here:

I had a tech come out a couple of weeks ago and he found that my upstream signal on the pole needed to be adjusted, and this is something that a maintenance tech needed to do, so he put in a ticket for that and that a maintenance tech would stop by within the next few days.

It doesn't look like a maintenance tech ever came out, as I don't see record of this on my security cameras and I am still seeing T3 timeouts.

Could someone from the Xfinity side check this?

Thank you.
