Internet keep dropping connection

For the pass few days my internet keep dropping connection. My modem reset, stuck blinking on Send, then reset and back to blinking on Send.

I'm not sure if the power cycle is what eventually got my connection up or the waiting but here is my modem information. Thanks

    The upstream signal levels are barely in range based on your log, and the Sync errors are tied to it on restarting trying to get send solid with the modem. Is there any kind of splitter or amplifier on the coaxial line you are aware of there?

    I don't have any kind of splitter or amplifier on the coaxial line. My connection comes straight from the wall to my modem.

    For the past 48 hours my internet connection seems to be doing fine. I have not had any drop connection since I posted my modem log.

    I will come back and post here if I run into the same issue.

    Thank you for you help Ed H.

    I didn't think I would have to come back to post again. I thought that was the last of it and I would sit back and enjoy my internet but alas I am here.  

    Below is the internet disconnect log for today. I attempt to capture the sequence that led to the disconnect back to recovery then back to the disconnect and etc in hopes that the information will led to  finding the root cause.

    Based on what we see from here, the return signal level is hitting its max and the modem is resetting, so it appears to be a return path problem of some kind. It can really be anywhere from the modem itself all the way back to the tap. If there are no splitters or amplifiers that you know of or can access, the next step is to place a service call.
