Your logs are indicating line issues.
Do you have a screen snip of the cable connections page?
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, 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.

Between the errors you have and the logs, you have a line issue.
Check the line like I'd advised before and try it. If that doesn't help, then the ISP needs to check the line.
