Can't open DirecTV, Paramount+, Fox Nation apps and won't connect to Samsung TV

I can no longer open certain apps on my fire box or TV itself, or even on my phone while using my home Internet. One of my TVs no longer connects at all to the Internet. I can hot spot my cell with Verizon and all applications work fine. They worked fine up until 3 weeks ago and now nothing opens. I tried working with support over chat but he told me it's a speed issue (it's not,  that's just their go to response) and tried to get me to upgrade. I already have 600 mbps which is more than enough to stream. I've streamed with 5-10 mbps when I was overseas with this same equipment without issues. Support chat was no help.

user_blge1l Thank you so much for stopping for help with these apps and your TV no longer connecting to the internet. It does not sounds like a speed issue. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you. To send a Direct Message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, and then type or select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a direct message.

There has been no resolution. I was on a call with support for over 3 hours and they promised the advanced tech support would fix within the hour (I finally had to go to bed) and that didn't happen. That was days ago. Still not resolved.
