Intermittent Internet signal

I need a real person.

For the past few months, my internet has been very frustrating. It will be at "normal" or expected rates, but also goes into long runs of being incredibly slow, like 4 mbps for several minutes or even much longer. I've lost connections for work, half the time my videos don't load properly on YouTube, and it makes any real-time gaming essentially unplayable. This isn't the service I'm paying for. 

I've tried running diagnostics and doing all of the proposed fixes. None of them changed anything. Your own internet speed test gave me 4 mbps during one of these slow periods, if it wasn't disconnected completely. Your diagnostics said the internet to my building is fine and I haven't heard of anyone else having the same effect. This is the case for every electronic device connected to the wifi here, all of them have connection issues. Your diagnostics said my modem was fine but I can't think of anything else that may be at fault here besides said modem. 

Any real solutions would be greatly appreciated. I've done every other hoop to jump through. 

Thanks
