Internet keeps dropping for short periods

I'm just trying to find out how to talk to a person. We've done all testing with the "xfinity assistant" and I'm not getting anywhere. The connection is good 99.9 percent of the time. The drops are super quick but making the gamer in the house nuts. It's also affecting those working from home.

I'm having the same issue, the connection drops nearly exactly once a minute, but the speed is great in between drops. I cannot participate in voice calls or conferences.

Xfinity/Comcast Corporate doesn't care.  They are way more concerned with social/political issues than they are with providing reliable service to their customers.  Same problems here.  If they did they would be reachable on demand with a live support tech and they would fix the problem, not hide behind chatbots and layers of infuriating telephone prompts which always seem to ask a question that has nothing to do with any real problem.

garyml1 I can definitely relate to your issue as I work from home as well. How long has this been going on for? Also, when does the drop usually happen or is it random?

@XfinityShawn​ it happens throughout the day maybe 5-10 times while working from home. When it gets bad is in the evening when all 4 adults are home. From around 6 to 10 pm it’s dropping 10 times on average. My son said when it’s not dropping the latency is terrible.

My Xfinity/Comcast also drops out and I'll get the No Internet Connection pop-up banner.  Happens on multiple computers and happens often and then when it does work it's very slow.  Who can help fix this?

@user_ymnngc 

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. 


For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on someone else's older thread can delay getting help.

Hi all.

I came here excited for maybe an answer. We've been having this same problem for about a month now, pages freeze for no reason and just sit locked until a timeout error. Then poof it refreshes itself. 

Comcast xfinity's support system -for lack of better words- [Edited: Language] 

About 300 dollars a month for [Edited: Language] service and [Edited: Language] support.

Same thing here: drops once in a while, a couple of times per hour maybe, for 1 to 2 minutes. My XB is in bridge mode and from the router I can see the 4th link goes down. Tried to explain that to support but they have no networking knowledge. They "sent a signal" which basically instructs the modem to factory reset, but that's it. 

They will now send a tech, when the only thing needed is to pull the logs from that crappy XB thing and see what was happening.
