    I am noticing that before 12:00 pm I would have less packet loss and sometimes none for 10+ minutes at a time. Then suddenly 12:00 pm hits and I start to get 15-25% packet losses and it just goes downhill from there. Any explanations? I have tried plugging my PC straight to the modem, I have tried running fortnite on my laptop through wifi and the problem still persists. 

    Note that I played Fortnite for a solid 2 months with no issues, 0 packet loss and suddenly this.

    Looking at your results it appears you're getting a good connection to AWS. I'm not sure why you're seeing so many AWS hosts in that trace however. I'd suggest reaching out to them with this data and see if they have any additional feedback.
