Latency Spikes

Hello,

I'm located in the general Seattle area and for the past few months I've noticed I'll get this frequent spikes in latency and some packet loss as well. Sometimes it lasts a couple minutes, while others it happens throughout the whole night. I'm hard-wired in to the XB6 modem, and ping results show no issues communicating with the router. However, the problem begins once it reaches the first hop associated with Xfinity. From what I can tell, upstream and downstream levels seem normal.

Here are the PingPlotter results (I can share the image of the graph too if that helps):

Hello, I've done two different direct message conversations and both times I've been told they will run some tests on their end. In fact, one of them said my service interruptions were so severe that they weren't even able to run their tests and would try again in a couple hours. I haven't heard back on anything on what it could be or any plans to fix it. The issue is still ongoing daily. I haven't ran any tests to confirm but my neighbor states they are having a similar issue with their Xfinity network.
