Sudden large amount of packet loss, lag spikes etc
This started about 2 weeks ago, while on my computer which is connected via ethernet I would encounter packet loss, whether this be while gaming or while using a voip. The issue continued on and only got worse. After going through the live chat agents multiple times who always suggested restarting and sending signals as they would do. Nothing they did would fix the issue, after chatting with one for a bit they had helped schedule a tech visit. The tech came and had replaced some wiring and assured us the issue was fixed, after the issue obviously wasn't fixed I talked to another chat agent I requested for a new modem. At first it seemed like the issue may have been fixed by the new modem but the issues started not long after installing the new modem. After this we thought that maybe the first tech may have looked over something so I contacted yet another live chat agent and was told a senior tech was coming out. He came and replaced even more wires and the issue started again not long after he had left, I also spent time restarting the modem over and over. I tried to move it once but it made issues worse, so I had moved it back to the original spot. I'm not sure what could be causing this because nothing changed inside of our home we've had this setup for a while and have had zero issues before this. Anyone know what could be causing the issue?
Modem Model: TG4482A
Modem Speeds: 600 download and 20-25 upload (never had issues getting these speeds)
NOTE: issue was not only on the computer was just first example of issue.

I’m having the same issue. It’s become really bad and has made gaming and zoom calls unreliable. Gaming lags constantly. Latency spikes up and then I get disconnected. In worst cases, I don’t get disconnected, I have to play the game out with a constant lag which is a nightmare.
Is there a fix for this yet? Perhaps not the modem, but Xfinity themselves on the server side?
crazy.

Same issues here. Ours for more than a year. I don't know how many techs have to come out replace inside cables, run an outside line...blame it on electrical wiring, etc...we had an electrician come out, BGE come out. All say it's Comcast. More than likely node/hub...we recently saw that our signal dropped more than 6,000 times today. Gaming is impossible and this is with an ethernet. I sent an email to our local government today. We're being robbed...paying more than $200 a month for a service they're not delivering. We're ready to go to our local news at this point because they continue to string us along and we've spent far too much money with this company to terminate our service without resolution and receive the service we've paid for...

Exact same issue here. Seems like the packets are getting backed up and then unload all at once causing massive lag spikes based on what I am seeing in game. Any updates from those affected? It's got to be something on Comcast's end.
