Default Periodic internet and TV signal drops

Recently moved and I was lucky enough to get fiber in the location. I noticed that once every two hours my wifi, internet and TV signal would drop for 10-20 seconds. It seems to be happening once an hour now. I can be recording something at 2am and when I watch it back there will be brief gaps in the playback.

Most times everything just freezes and then comes back up. Sometimes I get stuck in the "no signal on this channel" page for a bit and after moving up/down channels a couple times it comes back.

I thought maybe this was an issue with the telus modem (we have 2 PCs, 2 consoles, 3 4k wifi tv boxes and our phones connected) so I replaced it with a high-ish end router. Still the same thing.

Is this just a result of the local fiber network in my area? Perhaps something wrong with the fiber box to my router? Any thoughts would be helpful and appreciated.
