Serious Packet Loss in Pensacola

Is anyone else having packet loss in the Pensacola area.  I am having about 20% packet loss.  When i do a speed test the download shows up as under 5Mbps and my upload shows .07 to .1 Mbps.  I called cox and they confirmed the packet loss but say they cant send a tech out.  This is a ping to my external gateway.

What do your modem signal levels look like? Does the same thing happen when you bypass any wireless routers and etc? Get on Cox and have them send a tech out. Such packet loss is unacceptable and Cox needs to do something about it.
