Internet interuptions, time sync failures, RCS partial service and high jitter

Hello all, we have been having repeated internet interuptions. We have an Arris SBG10 cable modem and 50 mbps internet. No spliters. Wire comes from pole to house and right into the house and then to the cable modem. Looking at logs we the following event log entries that constantly repeat:

4/11/2022 20:09 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=88:ef:16:d3:2e:0d;CMTS-MAC=68:7d:b4:73:55:61;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
4/11/2022 20:09 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=88:ef:16:d3:2e:0d;CMTS-MAC=68:7d:b4:73:55:61;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
