Intermittent Internet Connection
Every night at 730pm and 830pm my internet goes out. Usually around 730pm the internet is out for approximately 20 minutes and around 830 it is usually a shorter time, last night specifically it was 832pm to 837pm. I can nearly set my clock to these exact times and expect the internet to cut out. At no other time throughout the day have I noticed a single interruption. Many attempts have been made to troubleshoot this with Xfinity live "agents" as well as technical support over the phone. Each has come back with a different "issue" they have found ranging from potentially a bad cable or "signal loss" to a suspected modem issue. The different diagnosis each time hasn't been reassuring and I'm struggling to understand how a "signal issue" whether from a bad or loose physical connection or faulty modem will consistently happen at the same time daily. Each time it feels like I've gotten no where troubleshooting, especially with the live agent option as this nearly immediately turns into "we'll need to schedule a visit." Additionally, with the internet being fine at almost all times of the day other than detailed above, I've had tech support/live agents say that everything looks good and as a technician would come out during normal working hours the same would likely be the case at that time. Really looking forward to a response explaining why my issues would be so consistently replicable each night. Thank you in advance.

My Internet has been very intermittant as well. I have checked the download speed many times and it's always about 290 mbps when it's operational. When there is no connection, of course it's at "zero download". But again, it's been up/down for a few weeks now.
I have looked at the Map of the "hacks" that are happening from Europe and it honestly is even amazing we have the Internet at all!!!
When I call Tech Support, by the time I get connected to an Agent, I have the Internet.
I have also upgraded my Xfinity Router as per their suggestions but again, still is an issue. There was one agent that said there could be an issue with the Xfinity Box outside of my residence. I can't remember what he called but maybe it was a "node" that connects to my residence.
Anyone else having issues such as this?
