SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync

on ‎09-06-2021 14:22

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what exactly is causing the issues on my network, it is completley random btw, most of the time the internet is working fine than randomly there internet drops out and comes back, or keeps dropping out like what happened 2 days ago between  11am-2am. 

I am based in the B27 Area in Birmingham, I never have issues with Virgin Media, the internet is usually working 24/7 without issues, but since 2020 to this year I have had some issues, I don't know if it's because of corona. 

Here is all the logs

An Engineer is coming to check it out on the 15th but just wanted to ask you guy's what you think its wrong with it as I am kind of a computer techie myself and it would be interesting to know what's wrong with it.
I thought maybe it's because our COAX cable for the internet hasn't been changed in over 8 years that maybe that could be causing it.

Downstream borderline high - only 1 upstream channel.. Loads of PostRS errors!

To me looks like a totally out of spec upstream and borderline downstream

What does this mean though?
Do you think it could be related to a really old COAX cable connected to the router or its mostly and issue with the internet cabinet outside?
I've asked the support to tell the engineer to bring a new COAX cable in case it needs to be replaced due to aged components, the internet was fitted in around 2008 probably in the house, I'm unsure if it was changed in 2012, but from 2012 to now we have been using the same equipment except for the SH3 Upgrade, unsure if it needs to be changed or what....

Here's an update,

Around 2:50pm today I turned the SH3 off for about 10 minutes and turned it back on around 3pm, since then to now here is the updated RS Errors, it started off at 0 but as I can see there is some major issues on the network.

The internet is working fine at the moment, I did a speed test and I am getting the speed I'm supposed to be getting however there are still errors in the logs which I will send after this and I believe there is stil drop outs which show in the logs but since I am not playing any games at the moment I am not noticing them, just browsing and watching videos at the moment.

I believe the time is wrong, when it says 17:00pm it actually means 18:00pm Network Log

What are the powerlevels like for upstream and downstream?

Post up the rest of the status tabs unless there is a massive SNR problem in the area, I'd expect some dodgy power levels to give that many PostRS errors
