What is the best way to get an ongoing connection problem solved?

I am having multiple, short duration internet disconnects.  Recently it has been 25 per day.  It has been ongoing for many months.  On the techs recommendation, I have replaced the modem twice and the router once.  My wiring is direct and simple.  All wires and connections have been checked many times.  Sometimes they say it is a loose connection in the cable outside my home and it gets better for a few months but eventually the problem returns.  The cooperation from the chat people is terrible.  Yesterday, no one showed up for the appointment.  When I contacted them, they lied and said the tech was there and fixed my problem.  I was watching for them at my office window and no one came.  My security camera confirms.  They could not tell me what was done or what time they came, only that my problem was fixed.  That discussion took another hour.  I've had 7 disconnects since they "fixed" it.  I am again waiting at home for another tech to show up now.  I have never experienced such terrible customer service.  It seems they have walled off any way to have meaningful communication.  I wish I had an option to go elsewhere.  Any suggestions on getting help from Comcast?

The tech that came out today was excellent.  I have several years of connection monitoring data and he took the time to understand that info and what other techs have done. He checked the line from end to end and replaced suspicious connectors and the MOCA barrel and ground connection.  The signal to noise ratio is not looking good so an engineer will come out and adjust.  We'll see how it goes. 

Opposite to this, the Customer service/customer interface department is terrible.   Lies and barriers to getting help is not a way to run your business.

I have had nothing but issues with my streaming and it buffering and freezing etc.  Xfinity customer service has not been helpful at all.  I had an appointment scheduled for today and Xfinity cancelled it even though I am still having issues.  I called last night and was on hold for OVER 2 HOURS!!!  Ridiculous!  Still no resolution!  I am <Edited: Language> at the lack of customer assistance and the lack of making things right but most of all that my service [Edited: "Language"]!

Hi there, user_v8plva! We are happy to help further with the Xfinity Stream app. We want it working great all the time and understand it would be frustrating if it is buffering and freezing. Let's get this figured out!

Are you noticing this issue on all of your devices or one device in particular?

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
