High Ping - High Packet Loss and latency

I am having the same problem happening everyday at the same node connecting to Seattle’s Comcast server. Pingplotter showing high latency jumping everywhere for just google.com. Gaming is extremely unplayable 5 tech came and they didnt be able to fix the issue. I live in Kent.
I have switched my Gateway from an Arris SB8200 to a G34 that is recommended on Xfinity's website to rude out the cable modem. I am connecting to my computer using an Ethernet Cat 8 cable, the high packet loss and high ping is usually around noon until like midnight everyday and I thought I was dealing with Xfinity network congestion make it extremely difficult for online gaming - I was once switched to connect to a HOTSPOT just from my phone and it is like night and day ( No packet loss )
Power cycle the gateway/ router did not help.

Below are my modem's downstream and upstream level also a tracert results in a high latency when making connection to google.com

I'm also experiencing high latency in western WA (olympia area). https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/extremely-high-latency

Does it happen every day at a certain time? Definitely something going on with their outside towers being out cappacity when multiple connections at the same time based on its behaviors
