Can't get my mac to connect to internet recovery - it eventually times out. No issues using a Spark connection. Anyone else having this issue?

Go to terminal and update time to current. Then try again

I am presuming you can fire up macOS Disk Utilities in Recovery Mode (cmd-Opt-R) if you can then open up Terminal from the pull down Utilities menu and enter: dscacheutil -flushcache and press return. Reboot back into Recovery Mode and try connecting again "Reinstall macOS" selection. If it asks you to connect to a particular Network select your modem NOT your mac network.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
