Internet in Sandiego CA goes out same time 8-9pm pst

So I have a 500 MBPS and 10 up.  The whole day I can game download massive files, remove into work and watch Tv, with zero issues.    

but suddenly at 8pm pst when I try to game to relax my internet will drop to sup 20 MBPS and I will have 80-100% packet loss. It will stay this way going up and down till 9pm PST.  Then everything is like nothing happened, I can download massive files, game on the game I wanted to play an hour ago but couldn’t because of some reason, I can have every tv on in the house streaming a different service with no issues.   

I get told it’s the modem having issues, but I don’t think that’s the case.   They say the signal is fine while I’m sending cox agents pictures of kbps speed and 100% packet loss.  

anyone else having anything the same

      Well that will be tonight then.   I contact support every night I email them pictures showing 80%+ packet loss and KBPS download while I’m on the phone with an agent.  

      the only response I get is well let’s restart the modem check the cables and the tide and true, our signal looks fine here it must be your equipment.  

      I get that it’s hard to find an answer when you’re not there but at the same time I was literally experiencing it while on the phone with them and they said they saw no issues.   If the modem or router was going bad I wouldn’t be experiencing it only at 8-9 then everything is back to normal
