Slow internet / poor support

For some reason in the past 6 months my download speed went from 360Mb/s to 100. Nothing has changed on my end. When I reported that to Comcast 11 days ago, they said that a tech would be in touch with me and verified the phone number. I still have not heard from anyone.

 

As an engineer in the tech field, I would never be able to ignore a client having issues like that ....  and keep my job.

Yesterday I finally spoke with a human and he was working to get through the dialog that those tier one guys do, and was very helpful. He wasn't asking silly questions like " what color is the cable coming out of your modem." Sorry ... that was from a Vontage tech years ago.  Just to close this out, I was able to get this resolved.  There was a setting in my EdgeMax router that was cutting my speed way down.  Oh ... and btw - we were disconnected and I never heard from Comcast again.

I had the same issue! I filed with the BBB and BAM!!!! I get responses quick! So what happened was my purchased cable modem was not a Docsis 3.1 modem. It was outdated.  Good Luck!! Its a major corporation only looking for their monthly payments and now trying to stop streaming tv due to the caps they are putting on our accounts!!!  CORPORATE GREED!!!!

My hardware is compliant ... but I seem to be capped at 100Mb. Might have a ethernet cable loose a pin on the RX/TX which would cause a 1G connection to fall down to 100Mb. Of course to get that resolved, a technical person would have to put a etherscope on it to find out where the open is.

So this morning I attempted to call to speak with an agent. I think the reason that I've not called is because it's impossible to get to an agent.  I pay for 360Mb but only get 100mb. 

I have called 6 times this morning and everytime that I go through the menu [Edited: "Language"] it says that I have a system restart in progress.  If there are any agents that scan these forums, you might want to reach out to me. I've been a customer for over 30 years and I'm about to got AT&T ... and I will go to the BBB as well on my way out.
