Packet Loss During Peak Hours

I've been experiencing packet loss every day for the last year during peak hours. I've spoken with "tech support" 5 times without any resolution. I offered detail information, as well as MTRs to and from my home clearly showing the loss, and where it starts. Unfortunately, they're incompetent, don't understand the issue, and pass the chat around until the customer gets frustrated and disconnects.

They even sent a tech to my house to check the connection during non-peak hours... Surprise, they found nothing wrong... I stressed that this issue was during peak hours but was told the tech's don't work during peak hours so there's not much they can do.

Comcast has a monopoly in this area so I'm stuck with this terrible service. Someone please contact me that actually understands the issue and can get it fixed. This likely isn't just an issue for me but the entire area.
