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

Have kind of noticed over the years the cable internet service is like what I like to call the Water Tower Effect.

Would be like a water tower is feeding your little neighborhood there, the more people online at the same time the more drain it puts on the supply. Plenty of pressure but may not be enough volume as everyones demands are increasing with all of the devices each family is running.

Some services are running into huge demands they are having a hard time keeping up to the increase in demands. Think about all the kids at home trying to be schooled online, besides all the regular increases in internet traffic.

If everyone throttles back a little, more reliable service for everyone.

Just another thought of what may be going on. Huge demand for internet out there.
