Multiple disconnections per day, t3 time-out and high number of uncorrectables
I started to have multiple disconnections per day. At that point, the modem can't be accessed via http://192.68.100.1 anymore and I have to reboot to regain Internet connectivity.
Looking at the modem after the reboot, I am seeing a lot of uncorrectables. Logs also show a fair amount of T3 time-out. This is still happening even after a tech came by and removed/added some filters to adjust the signal at the box outside the house.
Any ideas?
Here the data from the modem about 30min after a reboot

The stats are o/k. Please post again after 24 hours. Do no re-boot the modem. Post the error log entries as well.

Note that I also have been getting a bunch of these in the recent past. Just not this time around.

The stats are o/k but there is a good amount of uncorrectable bit errors. And the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.
There are other signal stat figures that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.
I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They can check the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) for any real time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.
You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Hi there, baolongnt. Thanks for reaching out to us here in the community! We appreciate you posting your modem reports as well. It's frustrating to find out you're experiencing these disconnects! I know you mentioned you've had a technician out, do you know if we have an amplifier installed at your premise?

No amplifier. The tech came and unplugged all unused cables and removed some filters. Another tech came this morning and double checked all the outside wiring. Also, this time the tech came inside and checked wiring all the way to the modem. He did not find anything that would cause these issues. He replaced connectors to secure connections. Finally, he said something about creating a case to have things checked further upstream.
This afternoon the issue happened again. Same type of disconnect. High number of uncorrectables and same messages in the logs.

Oh no! That's a bummer it's still happening. It sounds like the tech may have opened a maintenance request, which I can definitely check for. If you don't mind, please go ahead and send me a PM with your first and last name. We will continue from there. Thank you!

The past days have been horrible. Not only do I completely loose connections several times during the day now but the connection is totally unstable. I get a huge amount of packet loss.
See ping logs below.
I tried to connect to my modem to get stats/logs but can't anymore. I get a login screen that I did not set up.
@ComcastMorgan Can you help follow up? I have exchanged a couple of DMs with Comcast employees about 2 weeks ago but now nothing. I have no update on the maintenance ticket that was opened for my area.

I'm going to try to re-escalate this.
