Arris S33 having signal issues - suspect damaged cable outside.

My internet drops frequently throughout the day - things that require constant connection like large uploads are interrupted, my work VPN disconnects, and online games have high ping and lag.

I have read the connection troubleshooting:
https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/connection-troubleshooting-tips/602da777c5375f08cdea3db9 

but am unable to check my signal levels on the modem because I don't have a device that supports a wired connection in my house at the moment.

Additionally, landscaping was recently installed outside near where the coax cable enters my house, I suspect that cable was hit or something.

How can I get a tech out here to diagnose this and/or run a new cable?
