Node Congestion

I am posting to request an escalation to the local network engineering/plant team. I am experiencing severe upload latency spikes and constant lag that makes online gaming completely impossible.
We have already tried troubleshooting everything at the apartment level:
 * Multiple Xfinity techs have been out.
 * A brand-new line/drop was run to my apartment.
 * I’ve put the gateway in Bridge Mode with a third-party router and enabled SQM, but the upload latency spikes remain identical.
Because this happens on a brand-new line and with different routing hardware, this is an infrastructure/plant issue. My local node appears to be heavily congested and likely needs a node split.
Could an Official Employee please escalate this to the local area engineers to check the node's upstream utilization and SNR history?
Thank you.

This is an ongoing issue with comcast head end and its poor service. Most of these issues are NOC related and trace routes will show that.

user_ob86ct Thank you so much for stopping in for help with your connection issues. For network-related issues, escalations would start at the tech level and be submitted while on site to the networking team for the area. How long ago was the most recent tech visit, since that is where we would typically start with these issues needing network maintenance?
