Intermittent Internet Drops

Continuous Internet drops have occurred over the past few days, causing great inconvenience.

I recently moved and requested for the internet and received a new device a week ago, and there was no problem for a while after installation.

However, problems continued to occur four to five days later, and the device was turned off and on several times, but the symptoms were alleviated but not resolved.

The XFinity router seems to be experiencing continuous packet drops on the XFinity backbone(?).
This is the only thing I can do because I'm not familiar with this side.

Is this XFinity network problem or XFinity router problem?

I'm having the same problem. Started a few days ago with intermittent network drops happening up to several times an hour.

This is exactly what I'm seeing - it started roughly 2 weeks ago. Tried hard and soft rebooting, repositioned router, nothing works. This is pretty clearly a problem on ISP side, unless we all have abruptly bad routers that are failing in exactly the same way. Seems these forums are not monitored by Comcast?

I called Xfinity - wait for live agent was 45+ minutes, so they offered to have an agent text me - that agent (AI? who knows...) proposed without any evidence that my modem "might" be the problem (barely plausible, I suppose?) and offered to ship me an updated modem (sure, ok) and then spent most of his/her/its time trying to upsell me for a service upgrade which was both annoying and funny: "hey the service I'm paying you for is broken - hmm in that case, maybe you should consider giving the vendor who's delivering broken service to you more money.' 

I wound up scheduling a technician visit so with any luck they're be able to spot the problem. None of the automated stuff is able to detect any problem, so maybe a human can figure it out.

This sounds like the very same issue I've been having--and the solution is always "replace the modem." That's not the issue--it's a network issue. I seem to have finally gotten my issue elevated. I suggest continuing to push back. It's not your equipment--it's them.
