Upstream change at the neighborhood node causing speed drop, modem cannot speak to neighborhood node. Modem stuck in IPv6 Provisioning Mode

My internet speed is capped at 250Mbps on my gigabit plan. I looked at my modem diagnostic page, and my second OFDM Downstream channel fails to lock, while the first is showing massive correctable codewords. Due to the modem's inability to receive data from the neighborhood node it is locked in to IP Provisioning mode IPv6 Only.  Power levels and signal are good except the downstream ODFM (Channel ID 37 - 690MHz) should be checked for noise due to the large number of correctable code words.  My router is spiking the CPU and bottlenecking the line while it corrects packet errors, causing additional network latency through the gateway.  It needs a a T3/Profile Reset.  How do I get support to do those things?

Yes.  The Xfinity app is unable to identify an issue because the signal strengths are generally good. It is not seeing the problem on Downstream OFDM Channel 1 (Channel ID 37, 690MHz).  I also have spoken to support twice now, and have asked for a T3/Profile Reset.  If they did send the reset my modem hasn't received it, it is still forcing IPv6 Only provisioning mode. The modem is able to receive docsDevReserNow commands from the network, however.  Please see logs below from yesterday at 1:40PM ET (time is off because modem is not receiving responses to ToD requests):

FWIW, that is for the DOCSIS WAN / managerial side of the modem It means that the ISP (Comcast in this case) uses only an IPv6 IP address to talk to the modem for backend management purposes. That part is normal.
