Internet Freezes

I am having an intermittent problem with my internet connection freezing which is affecting my ability to work at home (I video conference a lot). 

I have tried numerous options to improve things (using RG6 quad shielded cables and ensuring they are tight) including replacing my modem with a brand new one ... but the problem continues.  My speeds are wonderful when it is working (850+ Download and 35+ Upload).  Both my upstream and downstream dBmV levels are well within specification.  I have noticed that when I am having problems the counters for Correctables and Uncorrectables increase significantly.  These are my logs after just an hour of run time.

I currently have a 6db attenuator at my cable modem because without it, I was at 35-36 dBMV on Upstream Channel 5 (Channel ID 6) ... thinking it was out of specification.

I don't use my cable line for anything except internet modem (no splitters or other devices connected to it, such as cable tv boxes).

I almost always seems to lose connection at about 10am EST daily but it does happen at other times too.

Any advice?

I suspect it has to do with the weather changing. I’d get a technician out to see if they can isolate the errors (Forward error correction or FEC) as coming from within your home or from cox’s network outside. If it’s from outside, the weather shift may have caused some amplifiers to lose unity gain which will cause bit errors.

According to one of our resident experts, Profile ID: 0 in your log is a problem and when your connection recovers, it remains Profile ID: 0.  You may have bursts of noise somewhere on the Cox network and its getting worst.

Yes, a tech would be your best choice.
