Intermittent Disconnections

As of 4/13/24, we've started noticing intermittent disconnections with our home internet. They usually last about 1 minute, and happen anywhere between every 5 minutes to hours apart. We've done all of the standard troubleshooting steps (restart modem, restart router, check all the connections, etc) but with no success. Which leads me to believe this may be an ISP coaxial issue. 

Our cabling situation is very simple - the line comes in to our house, we have one line directly to the modem, and a split to a cable box. Inside wiring seems to be fine, and hooked up securely. Our inside cabling has not changed or been moved for years, and this issue seems to have arisen suddenly. 

Modem is self owned Arris SB8200.

There are more events past this date but they are all dated 1970, and we didn't seem to have any of these issues in March.

I know more than likely we're going to have to have a tech out, as last time we had similar (but much worse issues) we had to have the line from the street to the house replaced due to animal damage. But I did want to see if there were any possible fixes I could implement myself, or maybe something I was missing.
