VPN issues - disconnecting

I keeping having issues where my work VPN disconnects about once every hour or more.  It's unpredictable.  Running a ping test on 8.8.8 shows a delay or disconnect that correlates with the VPN disconnect.  My work IT insists it's my Internet service.  Xfinity sent out a tech who re-ran a wire, but it is still happening.  I e had same service for 5+ years and this issue only started a few weeks ago.  Help!!!

I wouldn't bother trying to get Xfinitys help. Their XB8 Modem has been nothing but, a giant headache for me. From VPNs disconnecting constantly to slow wifi speeds. If you split the wifi bands you might have a more stable connection when it comes to vpns but, it's a roll of the dice.
