Connection Timeouts on IPv4 Websites and services

I'm having issues connecting to any IPv4 website and most of my online apps are also failing to connect to live services, updated, etc (which I assume is related). Websites were reporting timeouts or unable to be found. The issue affects multiple devices and I can connect to hotspots and such and get working again so I suspect its not my devices.

When I tried to do pings and tracert IPv6 worked (with the occasional handled timeout) but IPv4 fails very quickly (generally within the first 5 hops). Pings to the provided DNS servers (75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76) timeout as well.

Phone troubleshooting didn't help much. We Factory reset the modem and still have the same issue. I've also tried manual IP and no luck either. Not too sure what to do from here.

@EG​ After about 4-5 days without IPv4 services it started working again. My assumption is that there was some kind of back end outage which wasn't apparent to the Comcast Service Reps I spoke to. There was nothing done on my end as far as equipment or configuration was concerned.
