Slow speed, unstable connection, billions of uncorrected packets

I live in a large new multi-unit apartment in a major city. I have Blast Pro 275Mbps with a Motorola MB7621 modem. For the past several weeks I have been getting download speeds of ~12Mbps with frequent connection drops. The connection page from the modem shows literally billions of uncorrected packets (see below). This appears to be the same issue recently reported here.

The stats posted indicate excessive noise in several of the downstream channels. You'll probably need to have a Comcast premise tech fix this, but maybe Internet Troubleshooting Tips will help you. If not, call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast, or use one of the options on https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us/. It's not likely they can fix the problem remotely. If not, insist they send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.

If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit unless you have their Service Protection Plan ( https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/service-protection-plan, closed to customers that don't already have it). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast rental device or anything outside your home you shouldn't be charged.

@BruceW​ It went bad all of a sudden because xfinity over crowds nodes. A node can handle 500 modems but your not supposed to exceed 400 for stability.

FWIW. Bandwidth capacity / traffic congestion problems, and low SNR figures / line noise ingress problems are unrelated.

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue (if you have one). Thanks. The original poster has not returned. 6-month-old dead thread is now being closed.
