Intermittent interruptions to internet, multiple times per day, no pattern, modem log shows multiple issues

So I've been having issues with my internet for over a month. I've called, I've texted, I've had service techs out.

I was told my Netgear CM500V was "too old for my download speeds" so I replaced it with a CM2050V, which of course has not helped.

I was told the underground wire from the drop to my house was old and needed to be replaced. The ground was marked a month ago and the wire hasn't been replaced yet.

I was told recently that there's "a lot of noise in the area" and that a higher level tech needs to address that. (OK, when?)

I now have another tech scheduled to come out Thursday, but I honestly don't know how they can help when the other issues haven't been addressed.

I have an open ticket number.

I was looking at my modem information and logs for the first time last night, and googling some of it to try to understand it. That's how I found this forum.

Here's my modem log for the past hour

And my current Cable Connection with power and SnR (btw, last night I could only get one bonded upstream channel and the power was 59.3 dBmV)

I'm running a ping log that pings google once every 5 minutes to track how often I lose my connection. I lost connection 4 times yesterday afternoon/evening.

Hello @user_ndeghe. The technician coming out Thursday, will be able to get you a new underground line, and submit any tickets needed, for the maintenance crew to come out and find any noise in the area.

Still having multiple outages per day. It was out over 6 hours yesterday and over 4 hours Tuesday. The extended outages seem to be because the modem can't lock any upstream channels.

Waiting for the drop bury to put in a new line to the house.

user_ndeghe That is not good to hear, but glad to hear a drop bury will get this resolved. Did you need us to look into your account for specifics to that or no?

Yes, if you could tell me when the drop bury will actually get done, that would be great.

Our team can help, user_ndeghe! During the visit, if our technician determines that a new underground cable line needs to be installed, they submit a request for an underground crew to replace the underground cable line.

If there are no delays, it can take up to 14 business days from the date the technician places the order for your underground cable line to be installed or replaced.  To keep you informed about the work we’re doing, we'll text and/or email you throughout the process of replacing or installing your underground cable line. It is completed in stages. You can also check on our progress by visiting xfinity.com and clicking on the banner message at the top of the page for more details.
