CM2050V signal levels suddenly worse

I am used to seeing a near perfect signal profile on my CM2050V.  I have 1200/40 service and internet Speedtest at the router level was near 1200 down but is now stuck 130 to 200 even with reboot. 

yesterday there was an Xfinity van with a guy working at the “tap” box near my driveway - I didn’t get a chance to ask him what he is doing

the diagnostics run via the Xfinity chat troubleshooter claim the network and cable modem look good from their side

advice?

see following cable status page:

... CM2050V ... Speedtest ... now stuck 130 to 200 ...

Many downstream channels have out of spec power levels and SNR (too low), and all of the upstream power levels are also out of spec (too high). The work that was done appears to have crippled your connection to Comcast's network.

If you want to troubleshoot this yourself, please see Internet Troubleshooting Tips. If you can't find the problem or you'd rather have Comcast take care of it and an employee does not respond to your message here, call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast, or use one of the options on https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us/. It's not likely they can fix the problem remotely. If not, insist they send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.

If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit ($70-$100) unless you have their Service Protection Plan ( https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/service-protection-plan, closed to customers that don't already have it). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast rental device or anything outside your home you shouldn't be charged.
