Packet Loss on Upstream
Equipment - Arieal Pole -> RG6 -> NID -> RG6-> Spliter 2way -> Netgear CM1150V -> Cat7 -> Netgear RAX200
Have had Comcast out who replaced line from pole to house, installled new NID box with filter and new RG6 from NID to Spliter (one to DVR and one to modem). All SNR, Power and Speed look good to me and consistently wired speed down is 800-900Mbps and up is 35-44Mbps with Jitter on avg is 2-4ms, Ping on avg is 9-20ms,
PROBLEM: main issue packet loss upwards of 3-4% on upstream with less than 1% downstream. This causes video/audio choppiness in Zoom/Google Meets for teacher, student and remote worker. seems to be focus on upstream problem. Also in logs seeing T3 timeouts today - but typically see CM-Status message Event Type code 5 / Chan ID 37 messages.
ANY IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS - seems to be upstream from me? How would I get comcast to look into line issue since between them and I we've changed out everything from workstaiton to pole.

What can be checked. I have verified all connections are tight, replaced all eithernet with Cat7 for wired connections.

Ok good thanks for the update - glad to see if somewhere upstream they can see an issue
I have Cat7 newly cabled to all internal nodes
I was running IPv6 mode but turned that off to see if IPv4 would respond better as well.
I have had 2 different tech appointments -- most recently they replaced wires from ariel pole to nid to splitter (2-way supplied by Comcast) one to modem one to dvr.
Can only assume something upstream -- I even took on 30 day trial of XR7 modem/router but given no details in the log on that thing nothing notably different - went back to my CM1150v customer-owned - at latest firmware v04.0202 confirmed with Netgear and Comcast that's the latest. Kinda at wits end to get stable.
Look forward to the response from the upstream CMTS team or line/pole teams in my area to review.

The signal stats are o/k but the error log entries indicate that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / return path 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 will be able to poll the CMTS to see whether or not everything is in the green zone, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and also see a history plot for the modem. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Updated CM1150V Log with more Event Type criticals/notices received in last 2 days since the original post. Still, awaiting Comcast/Xfinity CMTS Techs response from the escalation in this thread to respond?

Please have patience. We have been told by the powers that be that they are a bit shorthanded at this time.
I can try re-escalating this again if you don't get a response soon.
