Motorola MB8600 Is Dropping The Connection Often

For at least 4 plus weeks now I have been having issues with my cable modem (Motorola MB8600) dropping the signal/connection from Xfinity. A reboot works but sometimes only for an hour or less & occasionally if I'm lucky for a couple days. The line was replaced with a brand new one when I first hooked up service here a little under 2 years ago & more than likely not the issue. I did upgraded plan recently & had not run into any connection issue before that. I am currently on their

"Gigabit Internet Plan

Download speeds: up to 1200 Mbps

Upload speeds: up to 35 Mbps"

My previous plan was

"Performance Plus w/ Speed Increase Extreme Pro"

Any idea what I could try to do to resolve the issue or what may be causing it? Xfinity support is impossible to deal with & I was hoping I could save some time by posting here & looking into it so I can then call them with more info in hopes of speeding up the fix if it is on their end.

Is there any solution for this?  Or if I am experiencing the same issue (EXACTLY the same issue - including modem make and model), should I be contacting support directly as well?

I am also experiencing this issue ever since switching from the XB6 to my own, brand new, Motorola MB8600.  Tech has come out and changed line from pole to house.  Worked great for half a day.  Now back to the same dropping internet issues.  Totally random.  All devices.
