Tech was here two weeks ago to fix an OUTAGE you detected, and it's still showing up on my account.

As the title says, a tech was here to fix a problem. 
Service issue detected
We've identified an issue that may affect your Xfinity Internet and Video services. Please schedule a free technician appointment to fix it.

I've done that already, and upgraded the modem, and the problem still exists!

I am getting repeated errors in the modem logs:

un Jan 12 01:45:50 2025 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=[Edited: "Personal Information"];CMTS-MAC=[Edited: "Personal Information"];CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

That is repeated over and over again.

Also, high error counts in these bands:

This slow like dial up has been going on now for about a month.

Like I said, a tech was here, put a filter on the line, and still didn't fix it.

AND, the message is still on my account about an issue detected.

I connected the cabled back up to the amplifier that was provided by Comcast YEARS ago, and

The dBvm went way down from the previous numbers, and looks like

it is all working now.   I disconnected the amplifier years ago because

it was causing an issue, now it has seem to have fixed it.

@user_kgi9x3 FWIW. There is still an issue with some out-of-spec SNR values on downstream channels 9, 10, 11, and 12. Seems that there is still some spurious noise leaking into the line(s) somewhere at that range of frequencies. You really should get a tech out again to locate where that noise is coming from and fix it. Good luck with it !
