Internet Much Slower than Plan

I'm paying for 500 Mbps and for several days have been lucky to get 150 Mbps, when it was routinely 300-400 Mbps.  I've attempted to complete the troubleshooting steps using the Assistant, but the Assistant eventually glitches out and forces me to start all over.  Yes, I've physically rebooted my modem/router and also had the Assistant restart it several times after finding no outages or signal issues, and no improvement.  What can I do to get some actual help to figure this out?  Thank you.

user_g7uyn0 Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. I’m really sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with your internet speed. It sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after troubleshooting multiple times without success. To get this sorted out as quickly as possible, I would like to take a look at your connection. To get started, please send our team a Direct Message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account. 

 

To send a "Direct Message" message:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon at the top of the page (looks like a text bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

Thanks for your reply.  There is no "text bubble" or other link to Direct Messaging that I can see, on either this support/service forum, or on the standard Xfinity site.  Yes, I am signed in to both.  All I see at top right is my user icon and the Notifications "bell" icon.
