My internet connection keeps rapidly and frequently dropping

As the title says, my internet connection keeps rapidly and frequently dropping.

 

My modem is directly connected to the coaxial cable coming into my home, and into the modem my computer is directly connected via Ethernet. I am not using WiFi, so that is not the issue. There are no power issues, etc.

 

I believe the issue has to do with the line. I believe upstream/downstream values are not within their optimal ranges, or something of that sort, such as signal noise.

Yep you’re right signal’s bad all over the place. If it’s truly a straight shot to your modem, it’s likely a bad drop outside. Have a tech out, get it fixed

Thank you, vindicated to hear it's not just an issue of 'restart your modem.'

 

Is there any way I can expedite getting a tech out to check while skipping the initial "have you tried turning it on and off again" mumbo jumbo?

 

Also can I do it where nothing has to be by appointment, I don't really really want to meet face-to-face with someone with  COVID-19 etc. I would just prefer someone to see this and say "yes, we need to send someone to check the line ASAP."

I can escalate it up to an official employee, with the recent conditions I have no idea about the techs. But normally they have to check inside and outside the house to verify everything. But that’s something you can discuss with whoever helps you out
