Problem with amplifiers on my street affecting myself and several immediate neighbors causing multiple issues, relating to FDX work done
Since the initial FDX/full duplex work was done on our street, myself and several immediate neighbors have been experiencing the same issue with slow Internet uploads, high signal to noise ratio on the downstream channels, and picture quality issues. Three weeks ago we had a service call to our house and the contractor replaced set top boxes, reset/refreshed everything several times, and eventually figured out that the drop from the telephone pole had a good signal strength, but his equipment found that only the bottom 1/3rd of the signal spectrum was being sent by the amplifiers, and he shared with me this image of the screenshot of that spectrum analysis:

After the contractor reported this back to his superiors, an xfinity senior line maintenance person was dispatched and after about two hours of this person with his bucket truck who I had the opportunity to speak with when he was done with the work. He was looking at the signal amplifiers he found that there was sitting water in the enclosures for these in several instances which was causing the newly installed latest revision FDX PCBs for the amplifiers to be sitting in the water and causing resets and spectrum issues. He did what he could to let the water out, dry out the inside, and replace the PCBs but didn't have enough handy to fully complete the job, but he reported back to his team to send someone out another day to complete the remediation to the amplifiers on my street. This issue was fixed and appeared working the next day, but come the next good rain we were back to the original issue.
And now the cycle repeats itself because I have a service appointment to my house for this Wednesday, but would really like to skip to the part where you send a line maintenance person to inspect the signal being sent to the houses on my street.
