I've been having trouble with high numbers of uncorrectables showing up on the status page of my cable modem for months now (I've attached a current screenshot showing uncorrectables mostly received over the last 6 days): https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31444789-NV-Ongoing-Uncorrectables-T3s-T4s-Reboots-in-Las-Vegas-un-FIXED Recently, a Cox (my ISP) employee asked if the uncorrectables went away if I stopped using my VPN. I can't see how VPN use could lead to uncorrectables at the cable modem level (the traffic is encrypted before hitting the cable modem and it just encapsulates the packets regardless of content -- ditto in reverse on the way back). Is there any way VPN use could lead to uncorrectables? Could there be a server issue (Merope)?

If you're from Ireland and with UPC you'll need to think long and hard about AIRVPN (or possibly any OPENVPN service). It took me 8 hours to figure out how to connect. Multiple reboots of both my laptop and router and modem and multiple factory resets of my Asus router and Thompson modem. In the end I had to hack my cable modem to make it into 'cable modem only' mode and install the Merlin firmware on my Asus router. I won't even bother writing it all down here but you can get an idea of how difficult it was from this Irish forum: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057106714 Good luck.
