Fault with modem or ISP cable?

John204

Hello, I'm having an issue where I have severe packet loss and a slow download/upload speed (All info is below). I'm trying to identify whether the issue is with my modem (~3 years old & provided by ISP) or with the cable owned by the ISP. I'm avoiding getting a technician over as if the issue is my modem, I'll be paying quite an amount on top of the cost to replace the modem.

Factory reset if that doesn't fix it get a tech out there.

Something isn't right with the ISPs lines

My guess is you have some signal issue. How’s your correctable and noncorrectable error counts look? Also how does your upstream look? 
 

For the record my modem(sb6141) is like 5 years old so age isn’t really a factor here. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Below is my upstream bonded channels (it seems alright). As for the correctable and non-correctable errors, I don't think my modem provides that information although it is a DOCSIS 3 cable modem (Telstra gateway max: C6300BD-1TLAUS).

I'm not an expert but I think that the modem might only be connecting to one channel

 

Could you send a screenshot of the correctable and non-correctable errors

How could I locate the correctable and non-correctable errors? I cannot find it in my gateway.

For my modem is in the signals page right at the bottom. But Im thinking you have a signal issue. Im not sure how it works in your country but generally in the US if its problem is outside its a no charge truck roll, but if its inside wiring than its generally a cost.

I googled your modem model (C6300BD-1TLAUS) and it appears to be a netgear modem/router combo. I couldn't find exact instructions but you should look under Cable Connection (or something like that)

It looks like you've been trapped for ingress. You're only bonded to 1 upstream carrier. You need a technician to come and fix the ingress issue and remove the filter.
