Frequent disconnects with QAM Sync and UCD Errors, requesting escalation

I am experiencing frequent line disconnects (several per day) at suspicious times (always exactly at 15-minute intervals on the hour e.g. 11:15am, 9:30pm, etc). My modem logs correlate to the outages with these error messages:

SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing
UCD invalid or channel unusable

Despite these errors, my signal levels currently appear healthy:

  • Upstream Power: 42.0 dBmV

  • Downstream SNR: 44.7 dB

These logs clearly indicate upstream RF issues or intermittent ingress, even though the current signal looks clean. I have already verified:

  • No splitters or loose coax connections

  • Clean Ethernet to router

  • No rogue DHCP or IP conflicts affecting WAN stability

The phone support system keeps redirecting me without connecting to an agent. I am requesting an escalation to tier 2 support who can fix the Comcast network issue causing these outages.


Please advise next steps or initiate a direct message conversation to resolve this.

Thanks,
Paul
