Internet Disconnecting Multiple Times a Day

I am having a similar problem to many of the questions asked on this forum. I moved into a new apartment in August and my Internet has been going in and out constantly since then. Had a tech come out in late August and he replaced my gateway and checked my connections and splitters, said everything looked great. Did not help. I moved my gateway to a different splitter connection, did not help. I have gone through Xfinity's nightmare of bureaucratic red tape multiple times (plenty of call logs but never lost my cool) to resolve this issue. I can no longer work from home and have to explain to my team on why I'm in my car in the middle of a meeting cause I have to use 5G. I have gone through the other questions and I do not know how to find the performance specs from the gateway. If someone were to come out and help fix my internet I would actually like to have a conversation with them on how to problem solve my connectivity issue instead of them walking in, reading a step by step guide on how to replace a box, and leave. If they need proof of my internet dropping they can look at my data usage before August and after.

What I need to know is how can I actually talk to someone that can help me troubleshoot this issue? Xfinity assistant will just keep sending me text messages for tech support but from Ive seen they only go through a checklist? I need to know causes and solutions concerning this issue. Someone just talk to me instead of an A.I. thats programed to get me off the phone as fast as possible

After finding the admin tools I discovered that my power levels during my loss in connectevity are not within normal ranges and the report will only give me a single channel rather than multiple channels when connectivity is working. I believe that this is more of issue with the splitters or internal wiring than a simple gateway issue.

Davanti (Tech ID [Edited - Privacy]) came out and found the 2 port tap had a Downstream of -23 and wasn't getting accurate connection. He put me on a different tap (8 port) and sharing with a splitter. He said that was the main issue for the random disconnects. He checked the signals and the downstream is holding steady between 7.5-7.8. I will follow up in 2 or 3 days time to see if the issue continues or not but right now I feel confident that the issue has been resolved.
