Internet outage at the same time.
Since I got a new Arris Surfboard T25 (few months ago), I have had periodic outages always at the same time -- 12:30am Eastern -- that last anywhere from 4 - 10 minutes. I have directly noticed and been impacted by them every 2-4 days, but it may be happening more often because I'm not always using the internet connection at that time.
During the outage, restarting the modem or my router (Netgear R7000) does nothing. Once the system comes back again (or whatever corrects itself on the distant end), things go back to normal. However, sometimes the connection stays offline until I manually restart the modem.
Repeated attempts to contact customer service result in a long proces of "may I have your name?", "May I have the service address?", "Let me check your system status?", and more often than not a lengthy explanation that "YES, I understand the differernce between 'Internet Conectivity' and 'My internal network's connectivity'." By the time we slog through all that, the end result is "please contact us when you are actually experiencing this outage so we can diagnose the problem" which is frustrating to say the least.
I will add logs.

In case it matters to the modem performance, we have Triple Play but do not own a land line phone so the phone jack and line has never been used/accessed/plugged into anything.

Does anyone from customer service read these forums? Is this a “don’t know” or “don’t care”?
The fact that this happens each night on Comcast’s network yet nobody seems to be able to tell me what or why this is happening is an atrocious lack of either customer service or agent education. Further, the fact that every conversation with a rep steers towards some version of “we can come out and figure out what’s wrong with your internal network” indicates a prevailing attitude of “the customer is wrong until proven right”. Ironic given how many times I’ve had to explain the difference between LAN connectivity and WAN connectivity to said reps.

Joining the fray here, I replied to this post here: https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Your-Home-Network/Re-SIP-DNS-Query-Failure-Periodic-loss-of-Internet-Manual/m-p/3374048/highlight/false#M334872
Having a very very similar issue, only mine is every 4/5 days. This last time connection lasted a day and 1/2 before I needed a manual reboot. Mine usually fails around 6AM Central time - not sure why mine is Central either? I'm in the Eastern time zone.
So many calls to tech support, swapped my CM1150V for this T25, and for 5 days it seemed like that was the fix. Now I'm having to power cycle my devices AGAIN.
Would be great if a tech who didn't ask "what's the service address" "could you confirm the last 4 digitrs of the account holder's SSN" would come here and offer some help.
Here's my most recent batch of the exact same errors:

An update and "thus far":
My next move: obtain another modem and see if this problem persists. Since Xfinity's modem auto-restarts at 2-4AM, that hardly fixes the problem of an interruption overnight other than automating the restart. So, that leaves the Netgear CM1150V as the candidate. Promisingly, it does NOT use an Intel Puma 7 chipset like the T25 which seems to have some indication around the net that it may suffer the issues with Puma 6, if not as glaringly. We shall see.
Note to those who would like to try this: look for extended holiday return times for products. That gives you an extra couple months (often into mid-January) to return things if there's no improvement.
I will update with any info.

my internet does that also around 4PM EST I think Xfinity can't handle too many people connecting at the same time, but they will not admit it

Update: Installed the Netgear CM1150V tonight.
Speeds are slightly up (mid-500s to low 700s on Ookala) but about the same or maybe slightly lower on Xfinity's speed test.
Very interestingly, the CM1150V reports the same signal strengths that the Xfinity tech showed me on his hand-held reader (connected to the same cable that goes to my modem) whereas the T25 was always reporting low. The signals reported are what the Arris techs claim that Comcast needs to be supplying.

Just an update from me.
I had the Arris T25 as well.. Same problem as y'all.. Just about nightly reset at 1am. Had to power cycle my modem every 3-4 days. Error logs were always active, and uncorrectable errors piled up.
Installed the Netgear modem about 4 days ago, and it has been solid. No errors, not even any uncorrectable errors reported. Eveything just stays up as it should.

1 Week update:
Zero down time.
2 Correctables, zero Uncorrectables.
Event log is still empty.
It could be my imagination, but compared to the T25, things are more responsive/smooth.
I am incredibly annoyed at Comcast for having even listed the T25 as an option. Unless they sureptitiously changed something in my service (doubt it), the T25, while techincally "working" on their network, is arguably slower, definitely more error prone, and routinely locks up. However given that Comcast would undoubtedly prefer me to pay them $15/month, I can't say I'm surprised they didn't bother vetting the T25 properly.
Now what to do with a T25?
