Internet and TV Frequently Dropping in afternoons

Hello, our internet and tv service have been dropping frequently in the afternoons, this happens with both wired and wireless connections as well as cable TV. We have gone through the usual troubleshooting steps multiple times, gotten a new modem from the Xfinity store and had a tech out last Friday. He stated that we were missing a device to clean and filter our signal and installed same but the problem perists. 

I work entirely remote and use a VPN which disconnects every time the internet drops/lags, meaning I have to completely log back in repeatedly. This problem has become extremely disruptive to my job and usage of my service. 

Posting this in the hopes tech support will reach out or others can offer some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

user_nn7qjl, Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your Monday to visit XFINITY over our forums page for help with those frequent drops. As someone who relies on my services for work and entertainment, I understand the inconvenience that this can cause. I am sorry to learn about this experience. You've come to the right place for help. Thanks for doing those troubleshooting steps and swapping out the modem. I am happy to hear that you received a technician visit who provided these details. Did they happen to provide you with their contact information or the next steps toward getting this fixed if the issue persists? If you were to run an internet health test via the Xfinity app, what results does it pull for you?

When I do the internet health test right now, everything is fine-but I am not at this moment having the issue I'm describing so that doesn't surprise me. I believe the techs name was Cameron and he indicated that he is a contractor and didn't provide any information regarding next steps.
