CM1200 Modem and noise issues

Hello everyone. So, I’ve been having an issue with my connection for the longest time and its time I get some help from some very smart people out there. I have Suddenlink 1Gb down and 35 up plan. Located at Fort Sill. When I do speed test to Dallas (recommended server) 400-700 download and about 5 uploads. depending on when I press the GO button on speedtest.net its 25-65 ping. (Dallas is recommended server and its 3 hours away) but when I try testing to Oklahoma City, ping is like 75 or higher every time. I have some pictures of modem errors and noise levels I will be attaching. Thanks in advance for any help!!1m.PNG2m.PNG3m.PNG

Model: CM1200|Nighthawk Multi-Gig Speed Cable Modem

No. 

You have errors in the line as evidenced by the logs. 

your power levels are a touch high but technically still within spec, just not optimal. 

and you have 1 channel with issues on the upstream

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

You signal is a little hot (to high) but you don't have detected errors in the line. 

but your logs indicate quite a few errors. 

I'd check your line for kinks, damage, old/bad/loose/cheap connectors and replace them. 

Remove splitters/amplifiers from the line as well.

If you've rulled all that out, then you'd want suddenlink to check the line

Check all the line you have access to. 

And the line lock could be part of the issues. 

At some point theres an issue because of all the t3 and other errors you have

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

thats just the signal locking in from the ISP's cmts to the channels on the modem.

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

So overall there is too much power and alot of noise on the upstream channels? tell the tech that there are cable issues behind the walls, amplifiers or splitters?

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

Did a tech check the line/signal? 

Did you go through and remove splitters, connectors, amplifiers?

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

 Hello, update. after 4 scheduled appoints and 3 cancelations suddenlink came out and changed the wire from their node to the building using rg6. problem still consists. I realized that the cable used from the drop to the rooms in the building. (my room specifically) My room has an rg 59 or 58. so it goes from rg 6 outside to an rg 58 in the rooms. could that be the issue ?

It could be the wiring in the home. 

MOve the modem to right where the coax enters the home. This prevents the wiring in the home being the issue

Re: CM1200 Modem and noise issues

I'm not sure what to tell you then. 

If the drop from their hub to the building is good and the only sketchy part is in the building, then you're limited. 

I've had to rent a modem before to prove it wasn't my modem to an ISP. That forced them to check other wiring and fix their issues. 

Might be something you need to do.
