Tidal
OldiesButGoodies:
If that is the Air I remember it is first gen, with a really weak processor. It may not be able to run the Tidal app properly. Not sure if the Tidal web client is less processor intensive. Is there a web client like Spotify?At any rate - that Air is good for browsing but may not have enough power to do that kind of streaming.

Pepe, I'm using the MacBook Air that I got from you. I guess it's no good for Tidal?
OldiesButGoodies:
Not saying that definitively, but it is probable that the Tidal app will struggle with that laptop. The original Macbook Air was designed to fit in a manila envelope so Steve Jobs could impress everyone with the thinest machine ever made. But processor speed memory data bus were slow.
If you have not done so already do the usual things to make an old Mac get faster after a months of use - see tips here:

I would also look at the startup apps and make sure nothing else is running when you are running Tidal, see tips here:

If you can get it to run just Tidal with everything else off and after doing the SMC/PRAM reset, that may help you determine if it is Comcast or the Mac. All of this advice needs to be run by your CIO, Bearjew, before executing, I am just lowly tech providing free support.
