Internet Connection Keeps Dropping/Resetting
Hello from the Phoenix Area, I've been fighting with support for over a month now to get my service stabilized. I'm expecting my 3rd Tech Visit tomorrow, which is supposed to be a Supervisor Technician. I've been calling and tracking the outages. I'm getting between 10-15 disconnects a day. Some lasting up to 2 hours. I've only had service for 7 weeks now with a brand new out of the box modem, which I've already replaced with another brand new out of the box modem. Both having the same issues. The cable has been tested and checked and new connectors put on the ends twice. We've moved the connection to a different node. Still getting dropped internet. This happens throughout the day. It doesn't seem to matter the time, amount of internet traffic, or possible other usage related issues. It'll drop at 2am or 2pm or any other time in between either way. I'm getting charged $75 for each tech visit to come in and "redo my cabling" (ie put new connectors on) and I'd gladly pay for the first tech trip if it would have fixed the issue. However, it hasn't and I'm on my 3rd tech trip now.My Meraki Router is showing outages coinciding with the critical errors in the event log with the record going all the way back to July 31st. During the busy hours (Evenings 5pm to Midnight) latency will jump20-25ms to 35-50ms, dropped packets will go from 0-3% tovaryingbetween 10-50%. This is consistent every evening. I've had to contact support, insist on speaking to a manager (Which BTW none one wants to let you talk to), and demand escalated service because it's been weeks of "Reset you modem, check to make sure your connections are tight, look we reset your modem it's working now...." and getting nothing fixed. How does COX expect to retain customers if they can't provide the service that we are paying for? Hopefully we can bring this to a resolution before decide it's not work dealing with COX anymore and switch to a different ISP. Just know, if I switch at home, so to will I switch at work where we have over 60+ retail locations in the Metro Phoenix and surrounding areas.COX isn't the only ISP in town and customer service should remember that Business Users are made up of Home Users. Piss off the wrong home user and you lose a lot of business overnight. And yes I'm venting because I'm at the end of my patience. Anyways, here's the pertinent information below concerning my modem, router, errors, connection stats, etc. Current Hardware Arris SB6183 Modem Meraki MX64 Router Current Status Log Startup Procedure Procedure Status Comment Acquire Downstream Channel Locked Connectivity State OK Operational Boot State OK Operational Configuration File OK Security Enabled BPI+ DOCSIS Network Access Enabled Allowed Downstream Bonded Channels Channel Lock Status Modulation Channel ID Frequency Power SNR Corrected Uncorrectables 1 Locked QAM256 2 789000000 Hz -5.8 dBmV 37.6 dB 680 673 2 Locked QAM256 1 783000000 Hz -5.6 dBmV 37.6 dB 598 453 3 Locked QAM256 3 795000000 Hz -5.5 dBmV 37.7 dB 670 756 4 Locked QAM256 4 801000000 Hz -5.9 dBmV 37.5 dB 496 691 5 Locked QAM256 5 807000000 Hz -6.6 dBmV 37.2 dB 596 341 6 Locked QAM256 6 813000000 Hz -7.0 dBmV 37.1 dB 708 568 7 Locked QAM256 7 819000000 Hz -6.9 dBmV 37.1 dB 650 743 8 Locked QAM256 8 825000000 Hz -6.7 dBmV 37.2 dB 457 720 9 Locked QAM256 17 879000000 Hz -7.0 dBmV 37.1 dB 459 448 10 Locked QAM256 18 885000000 Hz -7.9 dBmV 36.6 dB 468 549 11 Locked QAM256 19 891000000 Hz -8.2 dBmV 36.4 dB 625 609 12 Locked QAM256 20 897000000 Hz -8.2 dBmV 36.5 dB 547 762 13 Locked QAM256 21 903000000 Hz -8.6 dBmV 36.4 dB 612 678 14 Locked QAM256 22 909000000 Hz -8.6 dBmV 36.3 dB 2783 640 15 Locked QAM256 23 915000000 Hz -8.4 dBmV 36.3 dB 3684 939 16 Locked QAM256 24 921000000 Hz -8.3 dBmV 36.3 dB 766 556 Upstream Bonded Channels Channel Lock Status US Channel Type Channel ID Symbol Rate Frequency Power 1 Locked ATDMA 2 5120 Ksym/sec 23300000 Hz 44.0 dBmV 2 Locked ATDMA 1 2560 Ksym/sec 18400000 Hz 43.8 dBmV 3 Locked ATDMA 3 5120 Ksym/sec 29800000 Hz 47.0 dBmV 4 Locked ATDMA 4 5120 Ksym/sec 36300000 Hz 47.3 dBmV Current System Time:Mon Aug 06 19:23:08 2018 Current Modem Event Log Time Priority Description Mon Aug 06 14:40:02 2018 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=bc:2e:48:d8:b2:fb;CMTS-MAC=04:2a:e2:c6:89:5e;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

Over the last several weeks there have been multiple outages in our area confirmed by support and my online account indicating a message. In an attempt to improve my service, I upgraded to Gigablast and purchased a new SB8200 DOCSIS 3.1 modem, the outages are frequent enough that one came up when we were attempting to provision the modem. I made a service appointment, and had repeated failures waiting for that day. This last Thursday a Cox technician asked to go into my back yard unrelated to my service call and two Cox trucks were in my neighborhood that day. This last Friday my service appointment resulted in a 3rd party technician replaced my service line (aerial) from the pole all the way to my modem. There is now a line that goes from the pole to my service box and then directly into my house to the modem with no splitters or connectors. Before the technician could leave, my service went down again. Even though I'm 99.99% sure it wasn't the new modem, I went and exchanged it that day only to find that I was in an outage again when I attempt to have Cox provision the newest modem. Yesterday there were multiple service disruptions and again this morning when I was attempting to work. I called support and texted support, both walked me through the tier 1 steps all the previous support has tried. I have connected the modem directly to a windows PC through ethernet to isolate the chance of it being other network related equipment. Based upon the modem error logs, it seems to be very clear that it is a Cox related service issue unless my network devices can cause"SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing", and"No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out" errors. When sharing this with the support reps I've worked with they tell me "my troubleshooting processes don't allow me to go forward" While on the phone and resetting the modem, it was clearly having issues connecting based upon the log but eventually came online which gave the all clear for Teir1 to give the Mission Complete signal and provided no way for me to get any advanced support other than some Cox Care service that had an additional cost. How do I get help resolving this issue? FYI, I'm not interesting in hearing about the Cox App or interesting in downloading it 😃 nice little filler on the support script. Here is an example of what my modem log looks like. 05/31/2020 10:59 73040100 6 "TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;" 05/31/2020 10:59 68000300 5 "DHCP WARNING - Non-critical field invalid in response ;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;" 05/31/2020 10:59 2436694066 6 "Honoring MDD; IP provisioning mode = IPv4" 05/31/2020 10:58 84000100 3 "SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing;;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;" 05/31/2020 10:57 82000200 3 "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;" 05/31/2020 10:57 84000100 3 "SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing;;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;" 05/31/2020 10:56 67061600 6 "DS profile assignment change.
