Hello guys! I want to start of with the fact that my internet keeps messing up and drops to even less than 1mbs download and upload. So I believe that I know why this is happening it is because of my cox account. At first this sounds stupid so let me explain ever since I downgraded my internet from Premier to essential my internet keeps dropping so I upgraded it to Preferred but it is still happening I changed my router and modem and on top of that I moved and still keep getting the same problems! So please if a moderator could go and check my cox account because my address is the same and called and changed it but my address is still the same not sure what to do I'm thinking of closing my cox account and open it up again on a different name.
Here are all my logs from the modem
By the way my modem is a Netgear CM500-100NAS

My guess is something with the downstream. Can you post your signal levels? Should find them near where you got your logs.
Also, when you lose the internet, do the lights change on the modem?

For one, your downstream power levels are pretty bad. They should ideally be in the range of -3 to 3, or as close to zero as possible.

I see the issue here:
1622
Those levels look like a issue at the plant. Those uncorrectables are packet loss.
Can you describe your house? I have a feeling your in a Condo or some kind of apartment complex. I only ask because I think the issue may be in the maintenance closet or shed. Just a gut feeling. Take it with as grain of salt.

Also there seems to be another channel causing packet loss

How does the cable get from the street to the bedroom the modem is in? Is there main junction somewhere where all the cables come together?
I wouldn't mess around with the starting frequency. Without know how Cox has the bandwidth allocated, changing that could make things worse. That's mostly to improve boot speeds so the modem doesn't have to cycle through the entire channel.
Connection from your PC to the website your visiting is done through a protocol called TCP by sending and receiving packets. Part of that protocol is error correction where if the PC detects a packet wasn't received, it will ask the website to resend it. This adds a tiny bit of latency. If after several attempts to resend the packet, it fails, it is considered a "uncorrectable". Basically the packet never made it to it's destination = packet loss.

Was the service installed recently? When was the last time a technician was out? If there is a signal problem, then someone physically needs to find the leak and stop it.

I had a professional installation and the wires come from the wall there are two wires he attached a cable extension and a white cable wire to it I removed it because I was having internet issues but that made the situation worse.
