Internet is freezing

I just spoke to someone about this issue and they said don't worry it's all under control. Well, apparently not, I'm on the verge of cancelling by Xfinity Internet

@user_vf6w0c I'm having the same or a similar problem.  I'm in Bel Air, MD, and for the past three months my internet connection has been consistently unstable.  The Wifi connection will drop, and then I disconnect and reconnect and hope that it gets fixed.  It's frustrating, but the bigger problem (for me) is that it is too unstable for me to have Skype or Discord calls with family and friends without the call freezing up every two minutes or so. 

Here's a list of the things that are NOT causing the problem: 

1.  My laptop in general -- I just replaced the 3-year-old one with a brand new Lenovo, and it is still happening

2.  My router -- Netgear IT updated the driver, and that wasn't enough

3.  My laptop's Wifi connection -- Skype still freezes up when I switch to ethernet

4.  My laptop's ability to connect to the internet in general -- when I go to my friends' houses, all of the issues vanish 

Help?

I have had 2 different Xfinity people out to try to correct my internet freezing which is much worse than before. The last guy pointed out some dust in a wall connection that he said can wreak havoc. Cleaned that out and I got the newest wi fi and connections, but freezing is back and worse than ever. Incredibly frustrating.......
