Internet cutting out periodically with MB8600 modem

I keep losing internet multiple times a day. It eventually comes back on its own after a few minutes. I'm using an MB8600 modem with a pfsense router. I've been using this setup for about 5 years with no issues until a few months ago. It's definitely not the router. Looking at the modem logs, there's quite a few errors, but I'm not very familiar with modems, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what it all means. All google searches keep bringing me to this forum. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any splitters between the modem and the street. Cable looks ok. Any help would be appreciated. This has been very frustrating to try to fix. I've included the up/downstream information as well as the logs, with MAC redacted. Thank you

The power levels and SNR values posted are OK, but the error log is terrible for just a few hours of operation. Network connection 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'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.
