CM2050V T3 errors, Uncorrectables and disconnects
A couple of months ago I replaced my old reliable CM600 with the CM2050V so I could make full use of my 900Mbps plan. Since then, I have noticed that over the 32 Bonded Channels that I'm getting alot of Correctables and Uncorrectable each day, and the Error Log is showing alot of T3 and other errors. I can actually tell when this happens as I could be browsing or downloading and everything just stops for a minute or two. I've been replaced the older CommScope 2 Way splitter Comcast installed 5-6 years ago with a new one, but no difference.
Here is a copy of my Signal Strength and Error Log:

The signal stats are o/k but the error log entries indicate that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / an upstream channel-return path impairment somewhere.
There are other signal stat figures that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.
I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.
You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

These are the signal levels without using the 2 way splitter(-3.5db).

@EG @XfinityMarcos
I decided to add a -6db attenuator (that a Comcast tech gave me a few years ago) to lower the power level to see if that would make a difference. It did lower the power levels as expected, but still getting Correctables/Uncorrectables and T3 and other errors, see posts below:
