Internet drops for 15-30 seconds every hour or more

Internet drops for 15-30 seconds every hour or more

Hello,

 

My internet has been dropping for about 15 - 30 seconds every hour for the past week. It started slowly (once a week) and now it’s up/down for random chunks of time. All of the equipment is out in the open and cool to the touch (not overheating).

In the past week this is what I have done:

  1. Replace modem (Zoom series 1094) with new (NetGear CM700) - no change
  2. Replace router (NetGear Nighthawk R700P) with new (Orbi RD20) - no change
  3. Moved to different cable wall outlet immediately adjacent to external connection - no change
  4. Replaced coax and ethernet cables - no change
  5. Replaced splitter - no change
  6. Comcast technician checked everything and removed the splitter at the external box so now the cable from the main end goes to a single splitter then into the modem

Here is the output from the modem

Here is a log of my pain

I have a second appointment with a technician tomorrow but I doubt they’ll do anything but wiggle the wires and check physical connections.

I appreciate any help.

By the way, it was resolved for someone reporting something similar. I'd seen that and followed their exact steps but it did not resolve my particular issue. That's why I posted in this community as it appeared there are super knowledgeable people here who could advise beyond the circular instructions I've been given by Xfinity tech support -- restart, restart, restart.

My update is that there is no resolution after a full week. Most recently the technician confirmed that the cabling is solid from the main connection to my house. The frequent outages persist. 

To recap:

I've replaced every single piece of equipment, every cable, and the wall connection. I've had two technicians make site visits. I've called tech support countless times and posted here in the support forum.

My internet still drops out 20 or more times a day. I work 100% remotely for a technology company. Unless Comcast can resolve this, I will be moving to another ISP.
