Incredibly slow speeds - Fed up with lack of support

I have the Gigabit plan and I'm using my own Docsis 3.1 (Arris T25) modem. A month ago, I started noticing speeds in the 80-120 mbps and a tech came out. That day miraculously it was up to like 500 mbps, still not what I'm paying for but better. Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago. I'm sitting on speeds in the 15-20 mbps range.  A tech came out told me it was the line from the node to my house looked good and that he was seeing the same speeds as mine. That there was probably just someone with a bad connection on the node severely slowing me down. He'd put in a ticket and it'd be fixed within a day or two. Well now, all this time later, still not fixed and it's even slower. I called tech support again and A) they can't even see where he put a ticket in to have someone fix the node B) all they kept saying was you need a Comcast modem (BS.... It worked fine before). ANOTHER tech is coming out in a few days but I can definitely see this getting worse. NOBODY seems to be able to fix it. 

 

Wish there was something I could miraculously do to make my internet speeds better and not have to deal with Comcast. If there was ANY alternative at all... I'd drop Comcast in a heartbeat. It's ridiculous to me that they continue to make me pay for a product that I'm receiving 1/10 of what I pay for without any urgency to fix it. 

 

Any ideas on what to do would be appreciated. Or better yet if someone from Comcast is listening... PLEASE HELP.

The SNR's are way too low / out of spec. Looks like there is noise leaking into the lines somewhere. You may want to get the techs re-involved until it is fixed properly. Good luck with it !

 

Bear in mind that if the premises facing techs can not find or fix a problem at your home, it is they who are responsible for escalating it to their line / network / maintenance dept. techs. The problem may lie beyond your home in the local neighborhood infrastructure somewhere but it is their S.O.P. to start at the home.
Good luck !

What should they be? Also, I've had techs out here... who have told me there's noise coming from the node. However he supposedly did escalate it and NOTHING was done about it. That's the problem. Something is way out of whack and it's not good. I'm overly frustrated at this point.

A minimum of at least 35dB. And higher is better. Mine is 42 dB.

Only 7 downstream channels are showing... what could be the cause of that? I believe I'm supposed to have 32?
