Fixed my internet when Comcast wouldn't bother
TLDR - Comcast didn't lock up the box on the building where all the lines come in and are split off to different apartments. I moved myself to a different splitter coming off a different line and it resolved my issues. Comcast told me my modem was going bad and I needed to replace it. Yet here we are a week later, still stable.
Unstable internet connection
Started having issues with the connection in a new home where the internet would drop for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. Tech came out and ran a new line from the pole but said the issue was due to a hidden splitter somewhere and because it’s a finished basement they wouldn’t do anything and I would have another company come out to run new lines.

Spent 2 hours this morning to sort of extend my promotional rate
I was paying $127/month (after taxes/fees) for internet + TV. I have 2 TVs. The promo rate ends this month. I chatted with an Xfinity agent who told me that I could stay on the same plan for $122/month. I agreed. Then when I got the confirmation email, I saw that the 2nd cable box was cancelled.
Loss of internet speed after upgrading my plan
So I upgraded from 200mbps to 800mbps last week and after I did that my speeds have actually gone down. I own my own equipment (Arris SB8200 modem and Netgear R6700v3 Nighthawk router) and speeds were great before the plan change.
