From your description of the problem, it sounds like it is the router that is not doing its job properly. Before you send your request for credit, make sure that it is a Comcast problem.
But, if you want to jost test when the net is down:
Here is a script that you can run from a cron job which will log Internet status and store the results into a file in your home folder called net-test.txt:
#! /bin/bash
date >> ~/net-test.txt ping -c 1 google.com >> ~/net-test.txt
#end of file
