Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.

ISP reports showing the modem in an active status and the device is not showing an up time reset. We were also able to successfully ping the device and receive replies with no packet loss.

So did the ISP correct the problem then?

this is an really an ISP problem. Logs clearly show it.
when you see "Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries exhausted" that means one of the upstream channels is having noise or completely disconnected. this is outside your home or street level noise.
who is the ISP?
