Intermittent internet loss - high number of correctables on one channel

I'm getting lousy internet connectivity intermittently, typically in the morning. When I'm connected, speeds are very high and I'm very happy. But this loss of internet (for a few minutes, over and over again) is not good. While I am a computer guy, I'm not a hardware guy, but I started looking at the modem stats. I'm on a Netgear CM1150V.

First thing that concerned me was that channel 32 is ringing up tons of errors (currently 1173532 Correctable and 49694 Uncorrectable, with a 14 minute uptime).  No errors on any other channel. 

The logs are spitting out "UCD invalid or channel unusable" messages, mixed in with "Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received "

Does anyone have any bright ideas about what's going on?

Many thanks

Ouch!

Problems like this are often due to poor coax connections or damaged coax cable, usually in or near your home. Running the cable through a surge protector, a defective splitter, or too many splitters can cause signal problems as well. If there is an amplifier in the line make sure it's getting power. 

If you want to troubleshoot this yourself, please see Internet Troubleshooting Tips. If you still need help, please post your Internet plan speed and the following information from your modem (from http://192.168.100.1):

  • downstream: power levels, SNR (or MER), and error counts for all channels
  • upstream: power levels for all channels
  • complete event log, if available (Be sure to remove or blot out any MAC addresses. Forum security processing considers them "personal information" and may prevent the event log from posting if these are present.)

Copy and pasted text is preferred over images. Be aware that, if you post any images, your message will be made Private for a time, as all images must be approved by the Forum Moderators before the messages containing them become generally visible.

If you can't find the problem or you'd rather have Comcast take care of it and an employee does not respond to your message here, call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast, or use one of the options on https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us/. It's not likely they can fix the problem remotely. If not, insist they send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.

If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit (approx $100) unless you have their Service Protection Plan ( https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/service-protection-plan, closed to customers that don't already have it). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast rental device or anything outside your home you shouldn't be charged.

Thanks for your reply. Struggling a bit with the formatting, but here goes. The basic setup hasn't been touched for years. The modem is about 2 feet from the  service entrance, there is one splitter for video (all Comcast installed). 

Trying again - I missed two MAC addresses in my first post.

Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

@EG​ Thought I'd gotten all of them - two stray MACs made it through.

Thanks for your reply. Struggling a bit with the formatting, but here goes. The basic setup hasn't been touched for years. The modem is about 2 feet from the  service entrance, there is one splitter for video (all Comcast installed). 


Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply. Struggling a bit with the formatting, but here goes. The basic setup hasn't been touched for years. The modem is about 2 feet from the  service entrance, there is one splitter for video (all Comcast installed). 

Trying again - I missed one last MAC on my last post. 

Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

Downstream, power levels are a bit too high, and several SNR values are borderline to out of spec (too low). Upstream power levels are borderline to out of spec (too high). Suggest you have a Comcast premise tech out to investigate and correct.

@BruceW​ Thanks, I was just hoping it would be more obvious what the underlying issue is. However - on to Comcast!

@XfinityThomasA​  Thanks - just saw this message, I was out. I actually had a call around 6:30am today from Comcast, who said that a technician was able to address the problem remotely. That, strangely enough, was the time of day when most outages occurred. I had scheduled an on-site visit on Monday, but at Comcast's suggestion, I canceled it.

Thanks to both @BruceW and @EG for their help. As a retired tech guy, it has been very interesting to learn a bit more about this side of the house.

@billk55 Thanks for the update. We will want to keep an eye on this since it has been intermittent and the suggestions above that this could benefit from having a tech check the location. Please let us know if you continue to see these concerns and we can get that appointment scheduled again for you.
