Chronic internet outages making me reconsider Xfinity service

My internet will drop randomly throughout the day or will slow to a crawl. It's been doing this for a few weeks and started around the time there was an outage and work being done in my area. I've tried customer support, but I've found it really hard to get in touch with a human being.

Hello @user_etxghf Thanks for making a post. Sorry to hear the connection has been spotty as of late. We would be happy to help you figure out what is causing the issues. Can you tell us has how often is the connection dropping? You mentioned it is random times of day, roughly how long does it go down for?

Hi. Thanks for the response. 

It's going out for a second or two up to a few minutes. It will do this multiple times a day with some days having about 20-30 interruptions a day. I did see on the outage map that Xfinity has some work in my area, so it might just be that, but it's been going on for weeks.

@user_etxghf We definitely would want to double-check everything on our end and confirm if it is related to the work in the local area or not. We can certainly run some tests to check it all. Please send us a direct message with your full name and the service address and we will take a peek at everything.
