Upstream Power Low

My upstream power is sub 40 at times and I lose connectivity during the day at times around the same time. This week it was around lunch. I have an arris SB8200.  I had to fight Comcast to send out a tech to check out the lines. Curious what it could be.

Sub 40 is not necessarily low. Exactly how much lower than 40 is it on all channels ? 

Please post all of the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.

Your signal stats were all fine / well within specs at that snapshot in time.

Are there any error log entries being shown ? If so, please post them as well in their entirety but redact the CM and the CMTS MAC addresses for your privacy.

Hmmmm...... Those losses of connectivity should be being recorded if these are sync losses to the Comcast system.

Well your modem is showing a large number of uncorrectable bit errors, so something must be going on with the connection quality. Good luck with the tech visit ! Please post back with how things turn out.
