Problem on the pole?

Hello,

 

I am having an issue where our business connection will drop every few days for a few minutes and then come back up. I've checked all of the connections and they are all tight. When I monitor the modem's gateway summary > cable modem screen  I notice that the downstream power level will start at ~0.03 across all 4 channels and then over the next few days creep upwards to over 1.0+ and that seems to be when the connection resets itself. The modem is an SMC model.

 

I run a ping  to the modem every 5 minutes from happyapps.io and have not been able to find a pattern to the dropped connections, I can work on sharing that information with you if it would be helpful (they don't seem to like to want to let you export the data so if there is a better service that does please let me know.) The downtime also varies from anywhere between 5 minutes to ~40 min.

 

Thanks for any insight,

 

Tim
