The engineer who replaced the modem last time did also fit an amplifier, similar to this: https://emea.technetix.com/product/p...ts-unity-gain/
An amplifier will do nothing, probably make it worse. OK, you have noticed some correlation between temperature and connectivity issues, which would tend to support (not prove, absolutely not prove) my supposition regardingn expansion of the cables.

Now I can't comment on the technical knowledge of the tech who show up, it’s variable, but if you were to mention ‘ramping upstream power levels’ and poor connections; you might get somewhere.

Good luck.
