Repeated 2hr Outages re-occurring since January

My internet has been unreliable for the last month or so, ever since Xfinity did some work to "enhance the network" in my area on January 15. The issue appears to be happening throughout the neighborhood (based on some conversations with neighbors) and the fact that the issue comes and goes without any changes to my wireless router specifically. 

Since the January 15th "enhancing" work, I have received 5 separate notifications from Xfinity (on January 19, 23, 26, Feb 5, and today, Feb 9) that there is an outage in my area. These outages tend to last between 2 and 6 hours. This is an undercount in terms of the total number of outages, as it does not include the smaller service interruptions that have occurred but without an accompanying notification. These smaller interruptions tend to last under half an hour. I am getting extremely frustrated by this, and the $15 service credit is not sufficient to compensate me for the lost time spent during the work day. Please advise on how to get this permanently fixed.

The issue is not limited to wireless internet, as my computer is directly connected to the router via ethernet.

user_mgr92 Good afternoon! We appreciate you sharing your experience with the recent enhancements and upgrades to your neighborhood network. Doing network enhancements and repairs are imperative to keeping your services working in the best ways possible. Additionally, it's also key in upgrading the speed capabilities in some areas, that haven't already been upgraded. That said, having disruption to your services can be frustrating; especially if you are working from home. I'd be happy to take a look at your account and services, and provide some clarity on what we have scheduled for your area. To begin, please send a Direct Message with your name, and service address. 
 
Click "Sign In" if necessary
Click the "Direct Message" icon 
Click the "New message" (pen and paper) icon
The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

How do I speak someone about cancelling my services?  I don't like that I have called a few times and not able to even speak to someone.  I checked out Fubo and Youtube today and they are both less expensive and I get more.
