Internet connection is spotty / laggy

I am not askin for help because there simply is not a thing i can do on my end. Im reporting that bell wifi is laggy and spotty since earlier today, May 27th. Around the middle of May, i noticed my internet started getting funky where it would start lagging on one device and not stop until i reconnected said device. Starting today, my whole internet has been laggy and sometimes cuts out entirely. This makes it nigh impossible to watch livestreams or play online games. I've done reboots and even unplugged my modem and earlier it reset itself and here's been very little change to connection quality so its not on my end. Please look for whatever error or firmware issues that might be causing this and please get it fixed asap. I've noted that im not the only person experiencing this either and not even just in my city/province either

My virtual repair tool is unusable, i have a Giga Hub, im experiencing the issues on EVERY device at the exact same time. I know for a fact that the issues are 100% not on my end because prior to yesterday, everything was totally fine. The only time my wifi quality changes is with the monthly firmware updates. Up until this month, everything was fine, but yesterday is when it became way more spotty and nearly unusable. I have done all i can. This is a bell issue, no doubt. Multiple reports within Toronto and supposedly issues elsewhere in the country as well that i've seen. 

Hi @RoadhogTime13  
Thank you for your post.
Does the issue occur all day long, specific times or is it sporadic?
When the issue occurs does any error message or code appear on your modem?
Are you able to perform and share a speed test result from the modem when you're experiencing these connection issues?
Can you clairfy what you mean by the Virtual Repair Tool is unusable? Are you receiving any error code or message that you can share?
If rebooting your modem has not resolved the issue, have you attempted a factory reset to see if it helps?
Looking forward to hearing back.
