Gigabit Internet Plan: Slow DL Speed After Service Outage

I have had the Gigabit Internet plan for several years which has been very reliable and always averaged about 800mbps download.

After a brief service outage on night of 4/4/24 near the downtown Miami, FL area, download speeds max out at only 220mbps as per speedtest.net using Comcast servers.

Much worse speeds on the Xfinity speedtest page, 40mbps.

Average latency has always been at around 15ms which is normal.

Tested other ISPs on speedtest.net and got around 40mbps as well.

Have restarted personally owned Motorola MB8600 that has been in solid service for 5 years as well as gateway/router many times with no improvement.

Cable modem download channel SNR db is around 43db for all channels.

All CAT 6 Ethernet cables used are known good and have not been damaged.

Used the Xfinity "Assistant" to no avail.

Can this be resolved?

Thank you.
