Packet loss

This is an ongoing issue for more than a year now. Xfinity support keeps telling that everything works perfectly fine. 
I had to buy a new modem, ethernet cables. I even had to take my PC to my friend’s place to test and make sure everything on my end works perfectly fine.

I have spent so much time to fix this issue and can possibly qualify as a network engineer myself.

I have done a pingplotter test to Valve’s server and found that there are packeloss on Comcast’s servers on hops beyond Hop 4. On my the most recent test. It showed 34.9% loss on hops beyond Hop 8 (

http://ashbum.va.ibone.comcast.net). Unfortunately, even after telling that the support keeps sending a tech to my home address instead of fixing their servers

@EG​ They have sent another tech, that did some tests and told that cables have to be replaced. Today another tech came over to replace cables. However, he refused to do a job as “this job takes 3hours and I have to go to other houses as well”, which is beyond understandable as doesn’t the apartment describe what has to be done? So, the tech rescheduled it for the next Wednesday at 8AM.

Totally disrespecting as I had to use my PTO for today’s appointment to be at home and I will have to use another one for the next appointment on next Wednesday as Xfinity doesn’t do cable installations on Saturdays. At this point it is like a circus now
