Kitsap Not uncommon to see the ISP not lock the 32'd channel and use the ofdma channel (3.1) as the 32'd channel.
They are correct in that you have a ton of errors. Check your line first and if it doesn't help, then have the ISP check it.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
If you can, simply connect the modem right where the coax comes into the home. This prevents wiring in the home from being the issue. And some ISP’s charge if the wiring issue is in the home. So this helps prevent this.
