Frequent Ping spikes throughout the entire day.

I've been having issues with ping spikes almost every 30-50 minutes for about 4 weeks now.  I've had two techs come and tell me theres no issue with the modem, or the node outside my home.  I haven't been able to get a single person on the phone, only the terrible automated system.

I ran pingplotter for about a week and this is a small snapshot of my ping overnight while no one in our home was using the internet.  Ive had ping spikes up 2800ms but usually it only pings to around 200-300ms. 

 - I'm plugged directly into the router, and I've tried 3 different ethernet cables

 - I've tested my ping on two separate PCs and a phone. All 3 experience similiar ping spikes.

 - I've used the XB8 gateway, XB8 Gateway in bridge mode with an Eero 7 pro, and a CM3000 netgear modem with an Eero 7 pro. All 3 experienced the same issues

 - My internet speeds are as advertised, but my downloads experience significant latency issues

 - I used the eero app to turn off internet access to all smart home devices and appliances, in order to see if that was an issue. This also didnt help.

 - I checked my stats and I saw that theres a pretty large amount of correctable Codewords in Channel 20, 193 and 194.  I read that correctable codewords are okay in moderate amounts but I'm not sure how much that is.

I'm honestly at a complete loss.  Using the internet for Video calls, Voip, or gaming is pretty miserable currently.  The xfinity assistant just tells me the signal to my house is fine.  The Tech that have come out have said that the signal strength is within spec and theres no issue.
