Neighborhood is experiencing WiFi drops consistently

Hi, my family has been Xfinity customers for 10+ years as it was the only provider in the area. We upgraded to the gateway modem with 1gbps service and it was fine for a while. Over the past couple months we started to notice our service was dropping consistently maybe 5-10 times a day. I also recently got a gaming PC and noticed there is significant packet loss with an ethernet cable plugged in. Others in our neighborhood are also experiencing similar battles and we need help. I personally believe there is an issue with underground cables that run through the neighborhood (which would explain the group issue), maybe some cable damage which would also explain the packet loss!

If there are issues with the underground cables how does that process work of identifying the problem, and finding a solution?

user_ohagq0 My team can help with your internet issues today. By any chance, are you seeing any service interruptions or planned maintenance from our Xfinity app?

Thanks for checking that, user_ohagq0! Have you tried any troubleshooting steps on your end? Such as rebooting the modem manually or through the Xfinity App? Or checking the coaxial connection on both ends (wall plate and modem) to make sure the connection is tight and there's no damage to it?

Yes we have tried rebooting both ways, and I just checked the coaxial cable on both ends and it seems good and is fully tightened

I was actually able to get in contact with another Xfinity customer support member and they helped me through hopefully a resolution. We also scheduled a in person visit on the 15th so fingers crossed everything works out. I appreciate your help though!
