    I may have found a solution to that issue.
    I realized that my speed drops started about at the time my Neighbour purchased a Tesla.
    I was suspecting something about the electric supply to the ONT terminal. I Purchased a Power Conditioner and use it to power the terminal. Since then, I did not experience any speed drop. 
    It is only two weeks, so I am not 100% sure that I found the solution, but I am hopeful that this was it. 
    If I do not experience any speed drop in the next 3-4 weeks, I will call it a win.

I would start with the router. You are probably using the pano modem/router, something like a Netgear RAXE300 would be a better choice, unless you are using wireless cable boxes, or cox telephone.
