900 MHz ingress started about 2 hours ago

Ingress on 900 MHz channels started about 2 hours ago and continues unabated with thousands of uncorrectables per hour only on channels 21-25 as you see below. Causing glitches on video calls. See signals and event logs below. Can this be directly escalated to a plant ticket? It would be a waste of time to send a tech. It's not my equipment.

EDIT: As you can see this lines up perfectly with the 902-928 MHz unlicensed band. Someone on my node must have set up a new 900 MHz device near some leaky coax. I have nothing in my home that runs on this band and I did not introduce any new wireless devices today. I hope Cox monitors for this type of thing since my neighbors won't know to report this. They'll just blame their equipment or blame Cox when this is clearly an ingress issue.

    The problem appears have to subsided as of a couple of hours ago. Hopefully the problem has been resolved and it's not just that the offending device was powered off for the evening.

      Ingress has started again at just about the same time as yesterday. Someone must be turning on a 900 MHz unlicensed wireless device that's putting noise on the line. Please investigate. Modem was reset last night to clear the counters. I had 0 uncorrectables on any channel all night and most of the morning. I can't wait for fiber when my connection can't be affected by defective devices in my neighbors' homes.
