For an outage that long why can't they (temporarily) re-distribute CPE's to other accessible CMTS's rather than leave them offline for so long?
That could cause utilisation issues for other customers, thus causing even more inconvenience for more customers! SNR takes some time to track down TBH. Usually a 2 man job as they have to track down the cause of the noise. Not a quick fix, it's why the tickets are P3 and P4's... It's not uncommon for the noise to be caused by a dodgy hook-up somewhere.
