can I get a appt set up thought here?

Best bet for that is to call tech support to setup a tech visit. But you can PM CoxTech1 if you want to discuss your problem, and what he suggest.

any else confirm switching to a d3 modem, could fix this?

It's possible a D3 modem could fix thing's, but nothing is promised. I can tell you, with D2 modem's they have trouble DCC(Dynamic Channel Change). Which is a load balancing feature that has been put to use with D3 on the upstream side. D2 modem's seem to struggle with this, and as you can see it's in many of your log's posted.

Also with a D3 modem your future proofing yourself for a while. I am sure if one of your local cox store's has some D3 modem's in stock. You can get one threw them, and if you don't like the way it perform's. I am sure they will most likely give you your money back within the 30 day time frame of buying it from them. Cox won't admit it, but with the D3 upgrade's, more of the older D2 modem's struggle to stay online with random issue's. Another thing is, it will come to the point all customer's will be forced to upgrade to the newer D3 modem's. With a D3 modem you should be able to depend on a more steady, and better connection. If that isn't the case, it's then your right to bitch, until cox figures out what is causing the issue that is outside of your control.

lilstone87 posted : Sounds like you may need to setup a tech visit to your place, to make sure there is no connection issue's home side causing your problem. As the T3-Timeout's often point to an upstream noise issue, and it's always good to start at the home, to make sure something home side isn't the cause. If a tech can't find any problem's at the home. You need to have the tech discuss this with his local cox guy's, to work up a plan to figure out what's going on in the area causing your issue. I would personally suggest updating to a D3 modem as a first step in trying to solve your issue. But seeing your log's, the amount of T3-Timeout's are concerning, and is a matter that need's to be looked into further.
