CM2000 high ping spikes and speeds dropping under 1Mbps sporadically
I upgraded my CM1200 modem to a CM2000 because the website said the prior modem was not compatible with our Xfinity gig service. The CM2000 was listed on the approved 3rd party device list, however that site no longer will load and I was told by your technician that came on site this past Tuesday that our modem doesn't support gigabit service. That modem is rated for up to 2.5gb connections and is DOCSIS 3.1 so I don't think that's the issue. He showed me on his phone app where my account had a red notice saying tell the customer their device isn't capable of the provided speeds.
On top of that, we are seeing random ping spikes and speeds tanking to near dial-up speeds from the 90s that will last up to several minutes and go back to normal or require a device reboot to fix. This happens even when plugged directly into the modem, with no routers or other devices between the PC and the modem. All the ethernet cables are Cat6, brand new, and have been swapped with spares with nothing fixing the issue. I'm pasting the modem log below from the last week and praying someone can assist with this since it's been going on for months now.

Just as an update, since I've been working with xfinity reps via direct message since my initial post, a technician came out and verified the wiring to the home and our equipment were all in good shape and not the cause. Our cable connection was run from a pole across the street and was right next to the amp, which the technician said was likely causing the sporadic nature of the connection issues we were seeing. They scheduled a bucket truck with the maintenance people, who did some sort of work on the line at the pole, and we were given a coax splitter to attach at the modem end of our connection. Since the line work and the addition of the splitter we have had no interruptions in service, and all the errors on the modem logs have stopped. We're optimistic our issue is finally resolved, but going to monitor the modem over the next couple weeks.

I got a few emails from Comcast saying I needed to upgrade my device after installing a CM2050V (same as yours except it supports phone service) then upgrading to 1200/35 after installing and activating the CM2050V. In other words their system has some issues processing device updates in a timely manner... or perhaps the old device stays on your account for a while and you get flagged if you have an incompatible device even if you have two devices. The devices page on Comcast's web site showed my old modem and my new one for a while after I upgraded. The tech ought to know better.
Your signal stats look to be in spec but I'm suspicious of those error log messages. Hopefully EG will be along sometime soon to have a look at them.
It's also entirely possible there's nothing wrong with your line or modem and Comcast is having an issue with some equipment on their end. I've had that happen a couple of times.

O/k so even though the signal stats looked very good at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / an upstream channel / return path impairment somewhere.
There are other signal stat values that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.
I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.
You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
