internet download speed varies between 50 mbs and 900 mbs

About 30 days ago, contractors installing non Xfinity fiber optics cables dug up an underground Xfinity cable on my street.  Comcast came and made a repair. Since then my download speed randomly varies between 50 mbs and the 900 mbs that I am paying for. Most of the time it is at the lower speed. How do I get a message to Comcast that their repair isn't working correctly? When I call, they just reset my modem but the problem persists.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to actual Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

It  seems to have solved itself. I have been getting high speed downloads regularly now. We see some new cables laying on the ground between two of their boxes and suspect they came back and replaced the ones they had previously buried. Now they will have to come back and bury the new replacement cables.

Although I thought that this problem had been solved, it returned right after I wrote that it was working correctly. We continue to get slow service with download speeds of between 50-150 mbs although occasionally, it jumps back to the 900mbs that we have been paying for. We check it multiple times per day and can't find any pattern to what time of the day the speed jumps back up, but it doesn't stay there for very long before it drops back down. Most of the time, it is at the lower speed. I don't think this is a problem with our modem or our router since they are both relatively new and the problem comes and goes without us resetting the equipment.  The cables that were dug up and mentioned in my original post are still just laying on the ground up the road about 100 yards from my house. I can't figure out where to find the peer-to-peer icon you mentioned.
