| [Connectivity] SB6121 intermittent connectivity issue Sat 12/1 @ 15:01 lost connection with "Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out"
Sat 12/1 @ 15:05 Connection restored
Mon 12/3 @ 03:48 a few errors appear--
SYNC Timing Synchronization failure
Lost MDD Timeout
Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out
Mon 12/3 @ 04:15 Connection restored
I can believe the 4AM connection loss is due to maintenance, but I have a feeling the 3PM one is not.
My question is whether I may have a signal issue or not--

| Signals look ok, though the downstream power level is a little on the high side.
I had experienced a lot of disconnect issues with the 6120 modem. Comcast said it was to be fixed with a firmware update, but I was on 1.0.6.6, and looks like you have the update.
Ended up switching back to my trusty 5120 and its been solid since. |

| said by grcore:Signals look ok, though the downstream power level is a little on the high side. Thanks for looking--nothing that I can do improve the signal, I am a HSI only customer. There is exactly 10' of uninterrupted (and only 6 months old) RG6QS between the exterior ground block and my modem--no splitters or other signal interruptions.
When the tech performed my install I asked him to replace the drop from the pole to house because it had been unused and disconnected for longer than I owed the home. The ends and cable itself were pretty crusty, but he claimed they were fine.
I haven't had any issues until this past Saturday... I don't know how often that log resets, but I was surprised to see my interruption from Saturday on there--so if the log is persistent for many days then basically I just happened to be using the internet at the two moments when it failed me (3PM and 4AM lol)

This is all I've got, and I own it... so hopefully it will not come down to replacement. My alternative is FIOS which is faster, but also nearly 2X the price. I am paying $44.99 on promo with Comcast for 12/2 service and I'd be paying $74.99 for 15/5 with FIOS. |

I dont think the problem is with signal levels, more than likely CTMS issues. Unless a signal the problem is intermittent, those are tough to ID. |
