Recurring Internet Issue

Hoping someone here can help me get a recurring internet issue routed to the right team.

Here's the situation. A technician came out and, after a couple hours of testing, diagnosed the problem as being outside the house. He called maintenance and said the line would be fixed. That night my speeds improved dramatically, so something clearly got touched on the outside plant. Since then it has regressed and I'm back to the same slow speeds.

I have another in-home appointment scheduled for next week, but if the issue is outside the house, that visit doesn't address the actual problem. What I'm looking for is to have the existing maintenance ticket the technician opened reopened or escalated, and to get a line/maintenance crew back out to the pedestal/tap rather than re-running diagnostics on my modem inside the house.

The intermittent pattern — fixed, then degraded again within a day — points to something in the outside plant (a loose connection, a marginal tap, or possible water intrusion). I'd rather not waste the in-home appointment re-checking equipment that's already been ruled out.

Can someone pull up the prior maintenance ticket from that visit and help push this to the outside-plant team? Happy to provide my account details and modem signal levels by DM.

user_u1tja6 Thank you for the detailed explanation. You’ve done a great job outlining what’s been happening, and I completely understand your concern about wanting this routed to the right team. Based on what you described, it does sound like the issue may be related to the outside plant, especially since you saw improvement after the initial work was done and then a regression. That said, the scheduled technician visit is still the best next step to ensure this is escalated properly. Our field technicians are able to reassess the issue in real time, review any prior notes or maintenance work, and, if needed, re-engage or escalate directly to the line/maintenance team with updated findings. This helps ensure the right team is dispatched with the most current information, rather than relying on earlier notes alone. I know it may feel repetitive, but this step is what allows us to properly document the ongoing issue and push it forward to the appropriate team for resolution. Please keep the appointment, and feel free to share the details you’ve outlined here with the technician. They’ll be able to take it from there. I'd be happy to follow up after the appointment to make sure the issue is escalated. When is the appointment?
