Your power levels are out of spec. You also don't have all the locked downstream channels you should. Plus your logs show line issues. 

Check the lines inside the house. Move the modem to right where the coax enters the home. Remove any splitters, amplifiers, or attenuators from the line. Check the line for kinks, damage, loose/old/bad/cheap connectors. 

If you do all that and its still showing the same, they need to actually come out and check the line.

    Update:The tech came out yesterday and replaced the drop because of water damage and water in the line. They also replaced the

     coax inside that runs directly to the modem (no splitters). Yesterday it was ok and today I'm receiving the same T3 errors again and the connection is dropping. I received 4 T3 Timeouts today. My signal levels look better but maybe I'm missing something. I have a 200Mb connection so I only get 24 bonded channels

        What speed package do you pay for. I see not all channels are locked in. If you have a 1Gb down service, 31 or all 32 channels should be locked in. If under 1Gb speed service, then you may not see all channel locked in. Something to ask the ISP about.
