Any idea what B-INIT-RNG failure means? Ive had a google but couldnt find much info
Also, what would you class as "loads" of T3's?

B-INIT-RNG is a bonded channel ranging request. You'll get lots of stuff on ranging requests on Google! The CM transmits this request to the CMTS which, if received, replies with a ranging response (RNG-RSP).
T3 requests in the absence of ppor SNR or high downstream power usually indicates an upstream problem with is consistent with the CMTS failure to see a b-INIT-RNG (or anything else for that matter).
Lots of T3s? a whole string of them in a short space of time, repeated several times within a few hours.
Hope that answers your questions.
