Hi All,
I am reaching out to see if someone can help me with my internet connection. I am experiencing huge issues. My internet connection keeps randomly dropping every 10 minutes, or so. It stays down for 1 to 2 minutes (usually, but it can stay down for longer, up to 5-10 minutes), then comes back. As an example, in the last 6 hours, it dropped 34x times, being down for almost 25% of the time. I need to work from home, vpn, t-calls, etc. and this is just not working. Unfortunate.
Some background. I have moved to a new apartment ~9 months ago. Internet has been working just fine until about ~6-7 weeks ago. Then the intermitted connection problem showed up.
My equipment. I have been using for the last ~6 years an Arris sb6141 (modem) with an Apple AirPort Extreme (router). I talked to Xfinity customer service and they blamed right away my modem/router. I was not very convinced (just because cause the combo has been working fine for years until few weeks ago), however, following their recommendation, I got a new modem from the list of Xfinity recommended devices (Netgear CM600), and a new router, too (Google Nest). Unfortunately, the problem remained.
Xfinity Technician. I contacted back Xfinity support and then they decided to send a technician to check my building and apartment. The technician was here, and checked everything in both the basement and apartment, installed new filters, replaced switches, etc. He did not found anything wrong on my side, however, he could not solve the problem, but he acknowledged the intermitted issue.
He then sent it another ticket to have someone to come and check the post next to my apartment and connection getting to my building. They were supposed to be here yesterday morning, however, unfortunately, no-one showed up yet.
I will post below logs from my modem. I am hoping someone here can give some wise insight about what I should do next. Having to work from home and having internet going down every 10 mins is like to having an internet connection 😐
Thanks everyone in advance, ~JH
Solved! Go to Solution.
this is modem connection - as you can see, power and SNR values are looking good, however a lot of 'uncorrectables' - let me know if I am missing something here

could it be that it's the ISP that drops the connection and not my router/modem?
Even though the signal stats looked o/k at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm 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 !
Hi @John_H3,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Xfinity Forum! I agree with @EG. I'd be more than happy to investigate your issues a little more to see what we need to do to make this right. To get started, please send me a private message with your first and last name. To send a private message, click on "ComcastChe" and then click send a message.
Thank you so much for your help EG! I would be glad to be working with Xfinity tech support team and figure our the problem
Great - I will get in touch through private messaging
p.s., I hope we can improve it soon - working from home with a connection dropping multiple times an hour is literally killing me
and this are the log from this afternoon - it has been really bad

I'm done testing on my end. Upon checking your node, I was able to confirm there are some Upstream issues being reported in your area, but it has not yet been confirmed an outage or known issue. Your signals are all green as well, but I do see a lot of T3/T4 timeouts. Let's see if the troubleshooting I completed will help any.
Can we please monitor this over the next 24-hours and let me know if there is a change on your end? If the issues are still present as of tomorrow, I will see if I am able to get a tech out again so we can get this escalated to the maintenance team, for investigation of possible issues at the node or on your line.
Hi ComcastChe,
thank you for working on it and for conferming Upstream issues and T3/T4 timeouts.
I will be working from home tomorrow all day, and I will be in front of my PC. Let's see how it goes and I will report it here. Hope we can soon find a solution.
Have a good evening and I will be in touch.
Thank you, ~JH
Hi, good morning - unfortunately I keep having huge issues. I began working this morning around 7 am, connection already dropped >50 times! I need to work from home - this is like not having an internet connection: cannot make a work t-call, the longest internet is up is ~10 minutes 😞
Let me know, what next steps are. Thanks everyone again for help and support!

to add more info,
in the last 80 minutes today (5/28), I have had 8 downtimes
my internet was down:
- at 5:14 pm for 11m 45s
- at 5:26 pm for 20m 36s
-at 17:58 for 1m 3s
- at 18:14 for 5m37s
-at 18:24 for 4m22s
overall, internet is being down more than 50% of the time
Good morning - another update
an Xfinity technician has checked all cables and couplers both in the basement and apartment 6 days ago. We also have opened up the wall outlets and checked the cables and couplers inside the outlet. We did not find anything wrong there.
ComcastChe suggested to double check all connections, following the indications below (blue). As such, I checked all cables and couplers again and took some extra steps. Trying to narrow down where the problem is, I have:
I will let you know if I will see any difference. Any other piece of advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, ~J
Inspect cabling
Inspect coax lines:
• For extreme bends or kinks.
• For abrasions or cuts.
• For broadband compliance. The coax should be RG6.
• For proper fasteners. Coax cable should not be stapled, particularly at regular intervals.
• Excess cable. Coax lines should be a short as possible.
Inspect Ethernet cables
It's fairly uncommon for Ethernet cables to fail, but it does happen. Kinks and connector failures are the most common culprits. Ethernet cables should be Cat 5e or Cat 6.
Check F-Connectors
FWIW, the past two days may have been .@ComcastChe's days off. I'm going to re-escalate this.
Thank you EG - I really appreciate your help. It would be great if I could get some more attention from Comcast to my problem. Best, ~JH
Your welcome !
One more piece of update for Comcast.
Unfortunately, all my cable maintainance mentioned above did not improved the situation. Internet keep dropping very frequently (an example of modem logs from this morning in the table below).
I started to use StarTrinity Continuous Speet Test and have monitored uptimes vs downtimes for the last 24h. During the night, downtimes only occurred 3x times for no more than a few minutes, however, between 8 am in the morning and 12 pm today, I already had more than ~25 downtimes (one every 10 minutes) . This seems to suggest 'comcast upstream issues' rather than cable connections in my home - I do not see how my cables are decent at night, bad during the day 🙂
To summarize all posts above:
I am really hoping to hear from Comcast soon. I am working from home, and basically I do not have an working internet connection.

Hi John_H3. Apologies your internet issues continue. I can assist with further troubleshooting. Please send me a private message and include your full name so I can assist you.
Thank you - will send a pm in a minute
Hi All, wanted to give another update. ComcastJoeTru did some more remote debugging, but unfortunately no luck. In the last 2 hrs connection dropped > 20 times again, being down ~50% of the time
many many T3 and T4 errors in my modem logs:

24 hr have gone by and have not heard anything from anyone - in the last 3 hrs, internet has been up for no more than 20 mins.
I have read your thread and I am having an identical problem. An Xfinity technician came to my house today to check my outside wires and he left it in a state where the box is undone and laying on my yard and all of the wires are exposed. (see pic) When I used the chat feature to ask what was my status, they told me that a technician was not scheduled to be at my house (wrong) and they could do a "virtual" assessment of my system due to Covid. I also work from home and discovered that my cellphone hotspot works for my needs. It is awful that I have to pay $230 a month and do not have reliable internet. I will be following to see how your situation is resolved.
Thank you for posting. Now I know I am not crazy and not the only one with this issue. I feel like I need to state it again: I am not talking about a few drops a day, but one every 5 minutes making me impossible to work at home.
Found a couple of threads on the same topic that are quite interesting:
https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Your-Home-Network/Intermittent-dropped-internet/td-p/3254091/page/2
I need to post here again, hoping to get more attention from Comcast. After an initial attempt, I got back in pm to both ComcastTruJoe and ComcastChe, but I have not heard anything back. Is there a better way to reach out asking for help? I do understand individual technicians might be out for the weekend, or other. From one of thoose threads, it seems like I may want to reach out to Comcast_Support instead - is this a better practice?
I also have talked to the customer service on the chat Friday morning. I was told that my issue was escalated and that someone would get in touch with me in 24h, it never happened.
I then talked to one of my two neighbors (we live in a three family building). Surprise: he experiences the same issue. I have learnt that independently from what I am doing here, he also got a technician to check the building ~two weeks ago. Nothing was found. Te technician said he was going to put a ticket in, and that in a few days someone from Comcast would have called and come to check the connection getting to our building and surrounding ones. Well, this never happened, too.
At this point, it is probably futile for me to post here some more modem logs, but I can report 10s thousands uncorrectable for the modem download channels 1-16, and t3/t4 every other minutes.
As I said, I am posting again, as I am hoping to get attention from Comcast and get some more dedicated resources to fix my internet connectivity, trying to get an internet connection I can actually use. Thanks
I don't know if it will help, but guess what, I'm going to re-escalate this for the second time.
I'm experiencing the same exact issues. I've had countless techs here and they've replaced literally everything...I started with my own modem/router setup and they blamed that so I switched to renting their equipment, but to no avail. I was also told by one helpful tech that there was an upstream issue with one of the nodes up the road from me, but nothing was ever done. It's honestly unbearable, but there are no other ISPs in our area. If you figure anything out, please share!
yes - will do! They made me replace modem AND router, as well. A waste of my $$ and of my own time. ComcastChe later mentioned 'upstream issues', but have not heard anything from anyone in days, now. I will keep you posted here. Hope that discussing publicly can help other people with the same issue.
another 24h went by, and guess what? I still have not heard from anyone.
meanwhile, found an interesting read: https://pickmymodem.com/cable-modem-t3-and-t4-timeouts-error-messages-and-how-to-fix-them/
The log below is from this morning during a futile attempt of making a work T-call (had to switch over my data plan from a different provider...) - a T4 error every minute or so... when will Comcast pay attention to my issue and give me a clear answer? Thanks

We're sorry for our delay in getting back with you, John_H3. We want to help get your issues resolved as soon as we can. I have responded to your recent Private Messages. Thanks for your understanding.
An update for other people reading this thread, who may have interest.
The problem is not solved. A Xfinity technician came here ~3 weeks ago, checked all cables and connection, but has not find any issue or solved the problem either.
The Xfinity customers support is telling me that they will need to send out someone else to check connections again, however due to covid this is not possible at this time. I have been unable to use my internet connection for more than 12 weeks now.
basically if you have a gig plan and dont use a xfinity supplied modem/router they throttle and crush your speeds. its fixed by firmware update only and they refuse to do it. this has been ongoing for almost a year. xfinity just says the issue is something else and will keep sending you techs. these posts pop up evryday.
All right - some new info about my issue I hope people reading this post may find of interest
my internet connection is still unusable - talked to the customer service for the ~10th time
I have been redirected to what Comcast calls the 'Advance Repair Team', this is what they said and done: 'I am done with the check and the system identified the modem is online however, it also detected signal issue that is causing the intermittent connection. I am going to complete update and refresh here in our backend for the service and I will be sending a push signal to the modem. I have did a refresh on the bootfile from the backend and corrected the signal issue. If in case the issue persist, we will set up a technician visit for you.'
p.s., not totally sure what this means exactly - if someone can explain, it would be appreciated.
In any event, unfortunately, the issue did not go away. So they have scheduled a third technician to come visit my building tomorrow. Let's see if this solves my internet connection, which I have not been able to use since ~April
A last update which hopefully is the end of the story. It seems that I was finally able to pin-down my internet issue. It seems that the problem was about a sub-optimal connection outside my building. I had 2x technicians coming here a few weeks ago, checking all inside connections without finding an issue. Did not help, so I got a third technician to came out 2 days ago. This time I asked him to check the connections outside the building. He remade the termination for the cable that from a splitter from a Comcast central unit is getting to my building an apartment and further tighten all other connection. Since then, 72 hours have gone by and have not had a single T3-T4 error, yet - looks promising. Hope it stays this way
The only advice from this story I have for people with the same issue is to be persistent, get technicians out, give them as many details you need, try to understand yourself how wiring is done for you inside and outside your building, and keep going until the issue is fixed 🙂
It has been real painful for me not having an internet connection for the last 3 months, and not always easy to deal with the customer support, but at last the third technician coming out was a really good guy willing to help and listen, and together we figured out how to solve the issue.
If the problem will come back, I will open a new post, but hopefully I will be good for a while now...
Thanks for posting that info. Glad that it finally got straightened out ! Hope things hold up for you ! Good luck ! Now closing this thread.
