Consecutive T3 timeouts occuring on upstream channel 1 and 3

Hello,

 

I have been experiencing internet issues for over a month now and I couldn't it successfully. I recently checked my logs and found the following event logs:

Not sure if they are related, but I checked my logs and observed that I am getting a lot of these messages: (I edited the target address)

I had called xfinity customer support a while ago and they couldn't find any problems. I am having a difficulty in streaming due to this issue.

 

Any chance anyone could help me out with this? Thanks in advance for the help.

You probably have a high pass filter on your drop. Put there by maintenance if you have large amounts of ingress. 2 of your upstream channels aren’t registering and that’s the normal result.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it!

So what's the solution to this? And what can I do from my end?

Restarted my modem and the same upload channels give this problem. I actually started facing this issue after one of the routine comcast maintenances in my area. I will give comcast a call tomorrow and see if I can schedule a tech visit to check this out. Thanks for all your help! 🙂

If that is the case, you’ll need a tech. Normally, there are notes on your account that it’s there, depending on the timing. Try another modem reboot to see if those 2 channels come back first.
