Internet Speeds slow overtime (Daily)

Hi, I have been having trouble with my internet connection for some time now. When I come home from work, and sit down to play some games the internet is so bad I can't enjoy any kind of online gaming.

Recently I found that if I unplug and reset the router it fixes the problem. But, Over time the problem re-occurs everyday.
During slow periods I can see speeds as low as 2mbs or even lower than that at times. I am paying for 35mbs and can only get that after a hard reset of the modem/router combo.

I suspect it may be throttling or a bad gateway, We don't pay for cable or sattellite so my wife streams all day long, Non-stop with multiple devices for a majority of the day.

Any advice would be appreciated and thanks in advance for taking the time to help.

This (ipconfig /all) Result is during optimal performance after the reset. If it would help isolate the issue by doing this in terrible performance mode I can do so just let me know.

First, I am not a fan of ISP gateways. I find they don't work well, especially for gaming.

With that said, you have a phone/internet wireless gateway. Does the phone go out when the internet disconnects?

Last, can you post your signal levels? Should be available 192.168.0.1 (user:admin password:password) and should look like this.

There are multiple splitters, Since I live in an appartment complex its almost unnavoidable. I could possibly try a new line running into the house since I am using the original wiring that was built into this appartment since the 60s-70s. There is however a cable blocker filter on the line since I don't pay for cable. This could also be an issue. We did have an outage of service yesterday for about 8 hours now things seem to be better so far, Maybe the problem was solved in this.

For every splitter you are dividing the signal by more then half, since there is some lost in the conversion process too. You want the most direct route from the street to the modem. Since you don't pay for cable, I don't see any reason why your provider can't run a direct line to you. As for the filter, AFAIK all cable providers in the US are encrypted and require a cable box for a signal. Since you need a box for cable, you don't need a filter anymore to stop cable. Hopefully a new direct line and removing the filter will fix your problem.

::Edit:: Do you have TWC? Not sure if they require encryption. Since the TWC/Spectrum thing, all the regulations are a mess. I think there might still be some areas not encrypted?
