Service instability, unusable

Service instability in Essex, Md. I have a brand new direct line from the pole to the gateway. Brand new modem xfinity supplied. No splitters. Gateway is receiving 115 Mbps, but devices are dropping to < 1 Mbps with an apparent Signal-to-Noise (SNR) failure. Devices reporting poor down speeds of less than 1mbps despite 'Excellent' signal strength. I have time-stamped photo evidence of the throughput collapse. Can an official employee help me figure out what’s going on? Chat agent told me all looks fine from that side so give it two hours. I need to work. Ongoing two days now.

Took a couple days and getting the right support agent but it was resolved. I checked and pointed out an extremely high code word error rate and it was resolved in minutes following that. I did ask how it was resolved but was told nothing was done, but got a rather large credit for the incident, so I can’t provide actual advice on what solved it, other than doing a lot of digging myself and pointing the agent in the right direction.
