 I used to have mg7550. Zero errors for months. Then comcast did some maintenance in the neighborhood overnight a few weeks ago. Had many UnCorr errors. Comcast thought it might be old modem. So I now have mg8720 (docsis 3.1)  Thru reddit  modmail they checked line and after a day or 2 and a few reboots, it seemed fixed. (now banned on reddit ?) Then one channel ( I believe #7 started having errors. This morning I power cycled modem and again it seems OK. No errors after 8 hours. I will check again in a few hours.

Still decent speed (3/16 8am) and only a few UnCorr errors - notice the downstream blue arrow on modem never stops blinking - prev modem always 'locked' on and glowed steady.
