About our crap Internet service.
Well, thanks for putting your time into this.
I am aware of all you mentioned and done all before they told me they were aware of the problem and it’s the entire area of our neighborhood and can see the problem on the cable at the junction box before it comes to the house.
Speed isn’t an issue either.
It’s the multiple daily drop offs that they can’t seem to find.
Hard to believe considering.
More likely it’s affecting such a small area that it’s not that important to them.

Very nice speed there.
I am on a 100 Mbps Fiber Optics line here. Comes across at 97 Mbps hard wired with the ethernet cable and 57 Mbps on the wifi here in the house.
Also have it cabled underground ethernet cable off the house fiber router a 100 feet to the shop into my Cradlepoint mbr 1000 wifi router in the shop.
Same speeds in the shop 100 ft away as the speeds in the house.
My 100 Mbp line here works excellent for everything I need to do. I have access here through my fiber company 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000 Mbps all at reasonable costs. Thing is I only need the 100 Mbps and that is super fast in itself. Down and Up same speeds, it symmetrical with fiber. Never Fails.
Wonder if you can have them turn down your service speed back to 100 Mbps for more reliable service.
Back in the day of DSL here, I am at the max distance of 3 miles from telephone company's switch box before the signal severely drops off.
They were turning up their line pressure as much as they thought realistic, before the signal would blow out the side of the underground phone cable before it got here.
So as comparison, pushing that much speed (over 300 Mbps) over the existing cable to your home, you may be experiencing the same signal blow out before it gets to your home.
Too much distance from the cable company's feed box to your home, plenty of speed but may be overwhelming the ability of the cable feeding your home ???
Try turning the line speed down, may solve your reliability problem. Less pressure with more constant steady flow, like water flowing through a garden hose.
Always have enjoyed working with multiple internet services and techniques to get service into people's homes. Whether it be: Wimax, Wifi, DSL, Cable, Fiber Optic, Mobile Wifi Hotspots, Hotspots off your phone, setting up Wifi in a small town powered off a single cable base.
All very interesting stuff, especially when it works.
Good Luck
