#1 Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?

#2 If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.

For the past week my connection has been dropping constantly; about 20 times per hour. Everything at my end checks out. There is obviously an issue on Verizon's end. Contacting support has not resolved the problem in any way.
