Intermittent internet drops/massive packet loss spikes for past several months

First, I'm on a wired connection with a relatively new modem.  Several times a day, usually late afternoon, my internet will drop for 1-5 minutes.  I had just got accustomed to this during the summer, and it honestly didn't impact me that much, but now it's impacting work.  Is there anyway I can get a tech to look at our node as that's the only thing I can think of that could be an issue.  Navigating customer service feels like a labyrinth, and is often completely unhelpful (eg: restarting my modem, etc).

Been having similar issues with my router/modem combo as well. Started a few days ago and was notified about some outages in my area this morning they were all “fixed” and my internet seemed fine. Cam back from some errands around 2pm Central and my wifi is back to 5% plan speed and dropping intermittently. Using wired and wireless connections

Thank you for reaching out to let us know what's been going on with your router and modem combo. It sounds like you've been dealing with some pretty frustrating connectivity issues over the past few days. Even though you were notified about outages in your area that were supposedly fixed, I can see clearly that your internet isn't back to normal yet. Coming home to find your Wi-Fi only running at 5% of the expected speed and cutting out intermittently, both on wired and wireless connections, must be really disappointing. I’m here to help, and we’ll work to get your internet running smoothly again. Do you use an Xfinity Gateway or do you have your own modem? Have you seen any more alerts of service interruption again since you made this post?

The issues are the same as those in the earlier post with the following heading. It seems to be a widespread issue, and I spent an hour with no outcome from the customer success team. They sent a technician who, like a parrot, kept repeating the same statement with no solution. 

Intermittent Connection Drops and Packet Loss (every 15-20 Minutes)
