Re: High Packet Loss / High Ping Issues

Apologies for losing track of your thread @JHC3.
Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, The packet loss, latency, and jitter indicate that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.
There are other signal stat figures that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.
I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. They can check the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) for any real time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll for those upstream receive signal stats.You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
Do you think you can do the same for me? I am having the same exact problem and am getting no help from anyone on the phone or even the tech who came out to look over it. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing RyBlaser. I've been considering purchasing my own modem to test. I was able to get someone on the phone that was mildly helpful a couple days ago. They said they would have a tech come check my lines as he noticed strong signal fluctuation during his tests....but couldn't tell me when. When I signed into the Xfinity My Account app today it said there was some planned maintenance scheduled for Tuesday 1:30AM-6:00AM in my area. I'm hoping that fixes the problem. Best of luck to you on you quest for a stable internet connection.

I have the exact problem too over a month now, I tried everything and customer service only restart the modem nothing more. I've netgear CM500
ping 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 with ~10% packet loss did it by connecting directly to the modem or over wifi no difference;
~10% during work day, and ~2% at night , so it looks like the load shows the problem.
modem SNR, power numbers for downstream look fine and upstream power numbers look fine.
so internet speed is fine but latency and packet loss is a big thing I can't have any conference meeting and my voice always breaks up.

a technicien came yesterday and couldn't do anything more than looking at the external wire and the wire to the modem; he said " I can't do more"!
Also I found that there is no packet loss at night or now (no body works from home time), so it looks like my neighborhood needs an upgrade from comcast and it is not only me.
here is a traceroute output around 4 pm (~10% packet loss time frame):

another traceroute after working hours (Sat 10:30 am), looks good to me and no packet loss during that time too.

I think there is problem in xfinity in certain areas, network is congested because many people working from home, this problem disappear on weekends and at night.

I also have been having the exact same issues. I can't play any online games or watch any videos. It's quite awful.

I have been experiencing the same issue. I have called comcast repeatedly and after hours of waiting for a call or scheduling a call, no one knew the answer at all and just suggested to restart the modem; however, that does not work at all. I am very unhappy with the service at hand, as no one seems to have an update on this issue or have fixed it for the past month. Has anyone have any update on how to fix this issue?
