My internet drops for a few minutes on a daily basis.
This started happening when I moved to a new address in the same city.
I own my own modem and support will not authorize a service dispatch to look into this and said I need to contact Arris for support.
Every time my internet drops I see these events on the modem (Arris SB6183)
Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CMTS-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
Followed by this when the connections starts working:
Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CMTS-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
REG RSP not received;CM-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CMTS-MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;
My signal levels are:
I believe the T3 time-out error is a loss of communication from my modem to the CMTS and not sure how Arris support would troubleshoot this further. They want $39.99 to open a support case.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this error message means and how to get support from Cox?
Wow, Tier 1 by phone is getting pretty bad. The T3 errors are from noise/ingress on the upstream. I think the T4 errors are from you somewhat low downstream SNR but I am not sure. It should be above 35-36 but you power level is on the high side. Are you going through a amp or splitter of any kind? If you have a direct connection I would demand a tech. As long as it is a outside problem there should be no cost. If you are really worried, get Cox Complete Care for a few months to cover the cost.
There is one splitter, no amps.
I am willing to pay for the tech if the fault is on my equipment but their systems would not allow a dispatch at all.
Bull poop. They are just pretending they can't roll a tech. Email Cox at cox.help@cox.com and ask. Include your account info and a link to this thread. Update the thread with what they say. If they keep being difficult, file a FCC complaint but I think that is extreme at this point. Try the email first.
Thanks
Have you heard back from them yet? If not, shining the Bat signal for Becky

Great to hear. Let us know how it goes.
