For the last few days internet service keeps dropping, then comes back, then drops again. It is significantly worse at night.

For the last few days especially at night we lose Internet connectivity. Connectivity is typically restored within a few minutes, but sometimes it is out for many 10s of minutes. Everything was fine until 4 or 5 days ago. Our neighbors are experiencing similar problems even though there is no officially reported outage. Please can you fix it. Thank you.

Hi @rbarnwell, thank you for reaching out I know how important it is to get your internet service working correctly.  I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues. Does it seem like anytime you're doing a specific activity this is continuing to happen (i.g. video calls, using a VPN, gaming, etc) or does it seem pretty random? Have you been able to consistently confirm the connectivity issue on more than one device within the premise?

@XfinityMikeB​ Its dropping randomly. The worst was 2 nights ago, it was the middle of the night, nobody was doing anything and it dropped multiple times for multiple hours in total. Tonight, it just dropped 3 times over a 30-minute period, for multiple minutes at a time, we were watching streaming TV and doing email, the same things we have done successfully for 18 months. It's just in the last 4 or 5 days that the service has started failing. Our neighbors are reporting similar.

And one other thing to note. It's the cable modem that is losing internet connectivity, so 100% of devices connected either wired or wireless to the router/switch lose internet connectivity.

Can you confirm the equipment cables are plugged in and the coaxial cable has finger-tight connections to both the wall outlet and your equipment? Do you notice any damage or bends/kinks in the coax line leading up to the modem? Is there a splitter connected by chance?

@XfinityMikeB the cables are tight and without any kinks. We do not use a splitter.

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks.

For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on an old thread can delay getting help.
