Internet Dropping

I had a technician come about a month ago due to my internet dropping, buffering and generally running VERY slow at various times of the day. My two neighbours were having the same problems at the same time it was happening to my connection. The technician checked everything and also spoke with my neighbours. He also checked all the outside lines coming into the homes. He issued a ticket for the engineers to come to check the lines in the street as he said it looked like it was the lines coming in. In the meantime, I received phone calls from the support team who told me the internet will be monitored for problems. By magic, none of us had problems until this last week when the problems began again. I made an appointment for another technician to come. The following day, I received a phone call from the support team who told me my connection was healthy and it's pointless to send another technician out. How can I make these folks in India understand that the problems occur at different times of the day and although the connection may be good when talking to them but at other times of the day it is like not having enough broadband. Don't forget, my nieghbours experience the same problems at the same time. On occasions, the internet dies completely but comes back after about 10 or 15 minutes even though the router lights are still on. My last phone call to the support team resulted in them being very abrupt with me and I was given a telephone number which he told me I should call. It turned out to be Xfinity trying to sell me a Protection Plan otherwise I'd have to pay for a technician to come out, which I really don't want as the technician has already told me that the problem isn't within my home. Talking to folks whose first language is not English is terribly difficult especially as everything they say is scripted and they don't listen to what EXACT the problem is.

And......it's so frustrating when these Support people talk over the top of you and don't answer any direct questions.

Hello, @user_rcy344 thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. Working from home myself I completely understand the importance of having your home network running properly. I appreciate all the detailed information, and looks like the technician placed a "refer to maintenance" request previously. 

When issues aren't currently present, and customers are leasing our equipment. From experience, I have seen that the network monitoring may need to be done so they can catch when the network issues arise. 

I'd like to investigate further, and see if I can find any additional information related to last months visit and subsequent work. Since I'll need to gather some information that we don't want in our public conversation. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?
