When my service is slow, it usually is the result of someone backing into the cable box on the street. Sounds like you need a service call.
Also, xFinity has competition in our county, AT&T fiber optic. Every time xFinity (Comcast) attempted to raise my fees, I initiate discontinuing the service. They have an entire department trained to intercept the request and try to keep the customer. Every time, they have lowered their fee to match AT&T.
Debbie has already backed them way down from their $230 (incl. taxes).
We've had a number of service calls with no effect. Currently the TV package is working very well. Internet still is very slow around noon and from 5-7 p.m.
