Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
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.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute them back ON.
Be sure to check pings with out a external router connected to the modem. Use a wired PC directly connected to the modem.

I've done everything i can inside. Nothing has changed with my wiring and the ISP had me reset my modem about a million times. I've been trying to get a tech out, but they're really giving me the run around. I guess it must be something with their wiring.

many times the junction box on the house is/can be opened without damaging anything. You can check the connection there and see if there's issues.
If not, then the isp does need to check it.

There's no junction box. It's just a straight shot from outside to my modem. It was fine up until about 2 months ago, infact I was slightly over provisioned from 75 to 85. Then all of the sudden it just tanked. I don't know if they broke something when the new neighbors moved in or what, but they certiainly are giving me a hard time about getting a tech out here. That's why I was kind of hoping it would be something I could fix myself.

sorry with that many errors and nothing in the line/good cable/connections, then it kind of leaves it up to the line being the issue .
