You have lots of Criticals that the ISP needs to review and resolve.

      Aside checking all cabling, connections and fittings, ISP needs to look into this...

        Guess that means I'll have to pay the ISP to send a 17 year old tech out to tell me my cables are fine before I ultimately trash the modem and switch services.

         

        Thanks for your help
