Linemen working and then terrible download speeds and dropped packets

I am an IT professional and I do not have time for the IVR steps that I have already completed.  A bunch of linemen were out about a week ago and since they have departed I have had dropped packets, connectivity so bad that the modem determines it cannot keep a connection and goes through the process of trying to relock the channels and when there is connectivity the download is maybe 1/8th of normal.  I do not want to take time off for something that has been caused by linemen.  I just want you to get whatever was done back to how it was.  I will say it was unusual that the group of linemen and trucks did not have any company on them.  The linemen going up and down the street were in shorts and t-shirts and were not using any safety equipment.  They also had a trailer of coaxial cable with them.

Here are the sanitised logs:

Please sort out your lines.  This does not need me to waste my time and be present.  Also an adjustment for every day I do not receive the speeds I pay for would be appreciated.

The logs have not been "sanitised". Please redact all of the CM MAC and the CMTS MAC addresses from your error log entries for your privacy. They are considered to be personal information. The posting of personally identifiable information is a violation of their forum guidelines. The forum bot will not allow your post to be seen publicly. It flagged your post as "Private".

CMTS is head end for Xfinity and nothing to do with my "privacy".  I sanitised the CM MACS for my "privacy".  I did not post any personally identifiable information so thus did not violate any guidelines.

FWIW. They don't want the MAC addresses of either the customer's device or their CMTS MAC posted publicly. I don't make their policies, nor am I an employee. The forum Administrator removed them for you.

Update:  I decided to walk the xfinity line and found that they not only need to send out linemen to repair a section, they also need to send out arborists to remove growth that is impeding on the lines along the road.  One of the lines is sagging very very badly.
