[Speed] Frequent dropouts in Comcast delivered internet capacity

I'd had Comcast for five days. Most of the time I see Internet carrying rates of about 55MBPS down and 6 Mbps up. But, often in the evening and now on Sunday morning, the signal carrying rates drop to nearly zero, as measured with the Comcast speed test, and my other equipment. This causes my browsers (Chrome, Firefox) to freeze for periods up to three minutes, and for Netflix and Roku to close down completely. A recovery always follows and takes about 30 to 45 seconds before the previous high bandwidths return. This situation affects downloads and my business use of the system. Does anyone know if this is a just a local Santa Rosa, CA problem that can be fixed or does the entire system have this problem? (If so, it's sayonara for CC.)
