if you do not control the rf end [0], then i assume the upstream
supplies it and is really selling you connectivity to behind the rf cpe.
so you should show you do not have that connectivity, the rf is a red
herring.  use smokeping or any other tool from immediately behind the rf
cpe with a target of the first layer three hop beyond your network.

but, if the upstream is in solid denial and is not actually accepting
that they have a contractual obligation, measurement and technology are
not going to help you.
