Internet Instability when using video conferencing, Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc

For several weeks I have been experiencing internet instability when sharing my webcam video on online conference platforms.  I have a gig speed modem and I'm getting over 100Mbps down and 40 mbps up at the office computer.   I haven't seen any answers in this forum but for a suspicion that it may have been caused by the cable company working with buried wiring.   It's been terribly frustrating working with Xfinity.  The customer service has been really poor both working with a tech (took hours to get someone live and we rebooted the modem multiple times), I went and replaced the modem and have been stuck in automated call menus AND automated rebooting of the modem again.   Is this instability happening with anyone else?

@XfinityAdrienne @XfinityRichard @Xfinity Support I am having the same issues described in this thread. I know for a fact it is an issue with Xfinity. 

Whenever I attend a video meeting regardless of Zoom or Teams, Xfinity intermittently drops my internet service for 10-30 seconds. I can literally see the wifi signal get dropped. Then the internet comes back. I switched to the 5G Hotspot on my T-Mobile phone, and I do NOT experience this issue.

It is not the router. I have rebooted the router multiple times and tried from various locations in the home. The internet works fine in all other ways. 

I do not want to sit on endless phone calls and basic troubleshooting before a technician is sent to my house. I know it is the same issue as described in this thread. I work from home most of the time, so this is an extremely critical issue. 

Please help.

Hello adam_n Do these issues only occur on Teams and Zoom? Are you using any other video calling service like Facebook, Apple or others? And does this issue affect them during those actions?

adam_n - Thank you for sharing the details! Is this issue isolated to one device? Are you using a VPN?
