Severe packet loss and connection drops every night

I have been experiencing severe packet loss every night for the past 4 months now. My connection is stable for the rest of the day, but around 8PM-1AM, there will be severe packet loss and connection drops for 2-4 hours. The time that packet loss/drops start to happen is random, but the consistent thing is that it happens every single night.

 

I have had 3 techs out already, and they confirm that my hardware/cabling is fine. I've upgraded my internet speed to determine if that was the issue, and nothing changed. At first I thought it might have been an issue with my hardware, but after every fix I could find, nothing improved. After further research, signs point to an issue outside of my home as the connection is 100% stable for most of the day, and at night it goes to 10-30% packet loss with connection drops.

 

I'm unsure of what to do at this point, I was given the contact information of the supervisor for my area by one of the techs, and he has stopped replying to my messages regarding this issue.
