3. MB8600 On Comcast Checking In

User here and also bumped up to their gb plan. I see stalls at times that I suspect are Comcast. My suspicions are based on spontaneous recovery and the short lived nature of the disruption with no action taken to resolve it on my end. And also the slowness of an Ookla app to find a Speedtest host when it occurs.
No tool suggestions other than Ookla but my use of it is while experiencing a transient network stall to see if it can resolve host lookups. I’m going to follow this thread to see if anyone else can share better advice.
