We had similar issues. We are fully wireless. Internet started to degrade, especially during the tourist season. Pings mean nothing. Sending a tiny amount of data back and forth only confirms a connection. Nothing more. But during heavy loads the system will start to drop those with the weakest interconnecting signal.

I simply installed an external antenna for the Internet modem. Problems went away.

Phones are more a problem. We still have to "walk the property" at times to find that day's "sweet spot" to keep the connection.

Ergo, it is not your devices. It is the telecom companies who have not updated and upgraded their systems for the current and ever increasing loads. And if you are someone at the end of the chain, you will be cut off. And they will do nothing for you, since you are in the minority.

Sadly, once people get tired of land based signals being dropped, and more and more migrate to satellite, you might experience the same. Ergo, you would have been better to not have made this post, and kept a good thing private....
