For the moment the only thing I can think of to suggest is to go outside and look at as much of the incoming coax feed from your ISP as you safely can. No climbing poles or up on roofs, etc..
Look of signs of cable damage, corrosion, rodent chews, nail or staple punches, bare metal showing. Especially check any splitters that are present. If there are any unused coax ports ensure that the ports are properly terminated versus just a dust cap.

Splitters tend to become problematic as they age. Especially if outside in the weather.
You may find a barrel connector somewhere along the way where the tech's simple added a coax extension versus running a full new cable.
Sometimes disconnecting, cleaning, and reconnecting exterior coax connections can resolve issues.

So it's been a while, but here is an update on the situation. The problem still persists, but I have 2 ideas. One, I believe it might have to do with the cable splitter outside/static. Second, it could be the one coax cable that runs in between the outside and wall outlet where I plug my modem into. Between my ISP and I, we have updated every coax cable in between, so maybe I just am really unlucky and that could be it. I am going to provide some pictures and let me know if you think this could be causing the problem. If the splitter is the problem I was thinking about calling or going out and buying a different splitter instead because I have done a little research and been reading how splitters weaken the connection and or getting some caps. I remember a post prior about uncapped connections causing some problems.
Anyway, here are the pictures: http://
There is also a cable coming out of the ground that has been cut and is not in use. I do not believe it has anything to do with my problem, but I figured I'd mention it so the photos are more clear and clear up any possible confusion.
