This is what good signals look like

There are so many examples of bad signals posted here that I thought it would be helpful to show what good signals look like. This is my modem after 20 days of uptime. Almost 3 weeks. My downstream is basically perfect, always hitting 900+ Mbps at any time when node congestion wouldn't be an issue (signals and node congestion are unrelated). My upstream consistently hits 35 Mbps. The only thing in the logs is a DRW violation about once every 3 days which would cause a momentary upstream glitch at worst. It took 3 techs to get my connection stabilized (one to remove old equipment and filters, one to replace cable from the pole to the house, and one to fix an amplifier on the pole). But now that they've fixed everything, I couldn't be happier with the quality of my connection. Notice how I have basically zero uncorrectables even after 3 weeks. That's what a good connection looks like.
