If you’re having intermittent freezing even on LIVE tv you have a line issue to your home. Or an issue inside the home. Till that is rectified you will continue to have issues.
Request a service call so they can inspect your connection. Note what times it freezes when watching live tv, so they have a better idea for pinpointing the issue.

Then its a data rate problem. From what you said your setup is, I would first suspect cables as an issue.
Is it possible to switch to a different cable temporarily?
Or purchase and run a new cable?
An old trick but on the male end of the cable you can use a pencil eraser on the copper contacts to clean them. If it helps, replace the cable, if I replace cables I usually replace with the highest spec available (Cat 7) because if I do upgrade network switches down the road it's one less thing to upgrade.
