Intermittent slow Internet speed issues for months now, Gig service.
I pay for 1200 Mbps Internet. Since signing up, I've had intermittent speed issues where on average it drops to 500ish Mbps, but today it hit 50.
I'm not constantly running speed test either to try catch it, it's noticable. Wired devices show Pixelation with YouTube, Call of Duty will get jittery with really bad lag. I've run Internet speed test going to Comcast and see the same issues. The Xfinity app shows the same speed as well.
I've opened multiple tickets with support. They replaced the line to the poll and installed a new drop. Everytime they come out, they find some small things and say it's fixed, and it runs a bit better, but the problems come back. The tech will usually say that he ran a test and and everything looks good, but when he checks onsite, he sees some signal problems but says it wouldn't be enough to cause any issues.
I've replaced the modem, the internal cabling and they had me unplug a router that I was using that support said would cause issues, but still no change.
What can I do at this point to get reliable service?

I've had 6 visits so far for this same issue, 5 before reaching out to the forum. Now, chat is saying I have to have 3 more tech visits before they can get more eyes on the problem.
Why do I have to keep scheduling local techs for this over and over? I have to leave work early for these appointments. Does anyone know a way for me to just get this escalated so I don't have to hit visit number 9 first?

I'm having the same problem, although my promised speed is not as high as yours. Mine is 400, but it drops down to 40-50 randomly.
Please keep us posted.

Still nothing. Sounds to me like whatever equipment serves my area can't handle evening and weekends demand. Like it's over-capacity. I think I've had 8 visits so far? At least the last one confirmed there's an issue in the area, but still no fix. Also had one tech park in front of house and leave without knocking on the door and then marked me as not home....

An update for others in the same situation. I decided to escalate the ticket here: https://support.xfinity.com/svp-contact-form
I explained the situation, how it's been happening since August, how I've had 8 tickets opened for it with no resolution etc.
They actually reached out to me the next day with an email and I got a call that same day as well from corporate support. He created a ticket and I had a tech out a few days later. The tech saw the problem and contacted the network team who told him it was a known issue and that they'd have to run a new fiber line to handle the overloaded area. However, due to having to get permits approved etc, they said estimated fix date would be in April.
I got a contact for the corporate gentleman and will reach back out in a few weeks to see what the progress is. So, at least it's getting somewhere and I have someone who is finally acknowledging the issue as I think the previous techs would test during the day and probably thought I was crazy. I'll update in a month to see if it has gotten fixed.
But definitely use that link if you need additional help.
