T3/T4 Timeout

Long story short, we have been having Internet issues this past week. Looked into it, and looks like T3 and T4 timeouts. I called customer support and they are sending a tech (contractor) out this Tuesday. I've been reading on this forum how this issue wasn't fixed until after multiple tech visits. Now, I'm not saying this will happen, but can't help but think that. I am wondering what I need to tell the tech when they come out? I've already tried a new modem. We don't use splitters. We've had no issues in the 6 years we've have Cox. My wife works from home remotely and Internet is pretty much a necessity.

Pasting the log from the modem. This isn't happening just a few times a day, it is multiple times an hour. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    The tech came out, checked around for basic stuff, went in our garage and then outside to look around. Basically, we had an outdated splitter in the garage that he replaced and everything is as good as new! Just wanted to let you both know. Also, thank you for the responses and also adding it to the work order LatitiaS. That was one of the first things he mentioned was the modem errors.
