Our internet is slow or not working

Yesterday morning, we had trouble with our streaming and cable box televisions lagging.  Today, it is worse and my internet has gone down.  I checked outages a few times and am told all is fine.  I cannot get a real person anywhere!  This is an obvious XFINITY issue, not me!

P.S.  The phone "assistant" said it was sending a signal to my modem to see if that helps.  NOTHING HAPPENED.  Even though its more than my modem!

@Anon58924 I'm sorry to hear you're still having connection issues after reaching out to support.

Our team can help.  What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Have you had the opportunity to reset your modem by unplugging it from the wall outlet for two minutes?

Do you happen to have any additional devices connected such as a separate router, splitter, amplifiers or extenders connected?

First off, this is affecting the cable box I rent, as well as the televisions that are connected via wifi.

My internet was slow and then it went out completely.  It came back up after a few minutes.  The television trouble has been going on with every tv since yesterday morning.

It got to the point where we would turn on the cable box tv and get a blank screen.  So I checked online for outages.  No found and it said my connections were fine.  Afterwards, my husband said the tv was working fine again.

This repeated after a few hours.  No tv keeping a signal.  I got online to get help.  Assistant ran a check and the televisions are good again. 

Oh, I see Xfinity is in our neighborhood...

@Anon58924 Thanks for letting us know there are techs in your area. Are they working?

The TVs run on the internet connection and resetting the modem can resolve a lot of issues with both your cable and internet. Are you able to perform the steps I mentioned?

Can you also check the connection on the back of the cable box and wall outlet to confirm everything is finger tight and secure?

I had checked all that yesterday.   I have been a customer for over 40 years so I know what you support people are going to ask.  I reset my modem a lot because I run a company.

If the cable box runs off internet, why do I have a cable connected to it??

It is -15 here with the wind chill so I wasn't going out to the area he was in.  Tech left after a while and I hope the problem is fixed.

Anon58924 What kind of cable is connected to your box? Can you share a picture of your setup?

The problem was apparently fixed by the tech.  But it's a shame that when I go online, Xfinity states no problems in my area when obviously there was.

My cable connection to box is the same one that has been used in my living room for the past 40 years.  It is not affected when I power to my router on and off.

Our internet connection is so bad we can’t even use WiFi on our phones. Trying to watch a tv show is impossible because of the buffering and the outage site says everything is fine with no outages! They could at least tell us what’s going on!!
