Internet speed drops require restarting modem all the time

Recently I've noticed that my internet speeds will frequently drop to around 30mbps. A reboot of the modem brings the speeds back up (to only 160mbps even though I have the 800mbps plan) for a bit (usually only a few hours). 

I had originally thought it was the bottleneck of the modem (I had a Netgear CM500V), so I got the Netgear CM1150V, but the speeds haven't changed (I still only get 160mbps even after a reboot).

I have been checking the modem levels and everything seems ok, other than a pretty large number of uncorrectables:
