We spent weeks dealing with a similar issue with Comcast, eventually
found a tech who was willing to try the connection straight to their
service point on the outside of the house, eliminating all house
wiring as a factor.

For the next several days, there seemed to me quite a few Comcast
service trucks in the neighborhood, working up on the poles, and
suddenly our connection was flawless.
