High Uncorrectable Errors

Hi All,

Ive been having really crappy internet for the last few weeks and a check of my modem status page shows the following uncorrectable errors on channels 13, 14 and 15.

Cox say they dont see these on their side. Please bear in mind this is in two hours of usage from a reboot.

Any recommendations?

    I was having that issue, I had a tech come out to take a look. The service tech put in new coax from modem to wall and also replaced outside wiring that was old and needed to be replaced.I see zero uncorrectables now.

      Thanks Morgan, that's what I expect, I can see a rats nest of cabling at the distribution box. Wondering if there is an exposed or corroded termination point along the run.


      With you saying this I have got Cox sending a tech truck tomorrow AM, so will keep everyone updated.

    Your SNR looks good and consistent at 39 dB.  Did you introduce or reposition a wireless device in your household within the past few weeks?

    Hi Nedrick, can you elaborate on what you mean by "crappy" internet? Are you experiencing intermittent connectivity, slow upload speeds, slow download speeds, or all of the above? Are multiple devices experiencing the issue, or just one? Are you able to connect one device directly to the modem to see if the connectivity issues continue? -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

      Hi Becky,

      All devices receive sudden disconnects, pages wont load etc. wait 1 minute, refresh and it loads up. Seeing high packet loss as well as interruption in streaming services.
      Have tested things like DNS etc. pointing to a hardware fault either with the modem or with the line, my guess is the line.
