Dropping connection every several hours / slower speeds

Within the last several days I've started encountering issues with my internet dropping - this is after some heavy wind/rain in our area, so I don't know it's related to a damaged line.

I have done all the usual troubleshooting, and in fact I was a Tier 3 technician at an ISP for several years so I am pretty decent at this stuff.

I am currently hardwired direct to my Arris SB6190 modem, and I have noticed that the drops coincide with the following type of errors - 

Mon Apr 15 14:01:51 2024 5 RCS Partial Service; [edited - private information] ;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
Mon Apr 15 14:43:56 2024 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync; [edited - private information]CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
Mon Apr 15 14:43:56 2024 5 RCS Partial Service;[edited - private information] CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

My signal looks decent most the time, but I have noticed that occasionally, but I have noticed that channel 31 and 32 will occasionally go "unlocked", and I think that is coinciding with the reduced service and disconnects.

I am currently hardwired directly to my modem and experiencing the same problems, so I don't think it's my router. 

Any suggestions? I think I need a tech to look at the line.

djoker4015 Thank you so much for making a post on the signal/connection issues you have been running into. I have a quick look at what you gave me and my main concern is the errors both corrected and uncorrected as those alone would cause me to look more into the issue. A technician may be the best course of action for you. If you haven't already, there are a few options to get one set up. The Xfinity app for troubleshooting is a great option, it will walk you through some troubleshooting options and if an issue is detected and not able to be corrected remotely it will offer options to set up an appointment as well so you are not waiting around to get one set up after troubleshooting. If the system is not registering any issues it may not prompt you to set up an appointment, the chat pop-up may come up at that point however and the Xfinity chat assistant has appointment options as well. If you run into any issues with those options, please don't hesitate to let me know!
