wondering if any has the knowledge to decipher these logs and let me know what they think is going on. to put it in a nutshell, i have intermittent internet issues. randomly slow internet or none at all, ISP has been out numerous times over the YEARS with no improvement. As of late, during the Steam sale, on a number of occasions while downloading a game i had just purchased the modem would reset itself, i called the cable company, and according to their diagnostics, i was hitting the reset button.....seriously?? so here are the logs i could get from my modem this moment.

i'm not a pro, but seeing all those T3 time-outs and exhausted requests makes me think there's a lil more going on with my modem/internet than me sitting here and resetting my modem during a download... i'm still baffled by that answer.

in this log i notice a once a day Loss of RF in the log. wondering if this is normal as well.
 
Years ago I lived in Florida and had a similar problem. Turned out the cable lines leading to the house were frayed and cracked, leading to intermittent outages. We checked everything but that for days and weeks before throwing up our hands and deciding, why not, let's change the wiring. Like magic, problem solved.

So if you live in a location with above ground cables and lots of weathering, it’s something to consider. It’s one of those things that everyone assumes is good and is working properly. But when it goes bad, it’s very hard to detect. My cable guy was actually the one who offered to change it (probably because he was frustrated as much as I was). He told me they change out all the street wiring about every 10 years (at least in that area), but not necessary the line from the street to the home.

Thanks for replying to both of my posts, I appreciate it so much. I've had too many service calls out here for these issues to even consider using the ISP i am anymore, but I'll try running that past them, because as far as I know, that's the only thing here yet to be replaced. I know all the wiring in the house was replaced, modem, splitters, cablebox (they thought it would help the internet?) So i'll see if i can get them to replace the wiring from pole to house, as I am in Daytona Beach, Florida.
