10 years of Intermittent Connection problems
I've been having consistently bad internet connection issues for about 10 years now, and Comcast has done little to help and I do not know what my options are at this point.
I live in an apartment building so my guess is the wiring probably needs to be updated. But I don't know the first thing about how to look into that option.
For context, I have used five different modems and four different routers in the time I've lived here and each one has the same exact intermittent connection problems.
I'm currently using an Arris S33 modem, which I just purchased a few weeks ago to replace a Netgear CM2000.
I've also used an SB6141, SB6190, and an SB8200 at my current residence as well.
Comcast has sent out at least half a dozen technicians and they all say the same thing: it's my hardware that's the problem. But, I find that extremely difficult to believe, because I keep buying new modems and I keep having the same issue, regardless of what hardware I use.
I am beyond frustrated and am just looking for any help.

Hello, @InfiniteFrustration! I'm sorry to hear you have been having connection concerns for such a long time. Often times it is difficult to pinpoint certain connection issues in an apartment building, especially if the internal coaxial cabling is damaged. Have you had a chance to review the Community post that EG shared with you?
