Before you buy any product or service to troubleshoot packet loss, you need to check your modem signals and logs as shown in the linked post. Only after confirming that your signals and logs are completely clean should you run other tests or purchase other products.

Cox EliteGamer system is not a VPN service. Your network traffic is not tunneled or encrypted. Cox is reselling a third-party service outside of the Cox network. Only specific game network traffic is proxied to the third-party service where the game network traffic is tunneled unencrypted to game servers. All your network traffic, including the proxied gaming network traffic, still flows over the Cox network. Unfortunately, I think the only way to answer your question is to try the service itself. Instead of the Cox rebranded service, you could try the provider directly. From what I understand, the service being rebranded and resold by Cox is WTFast. (https://www.wtfast.com/en/)

Just think of it as a Game Tax: It just takes and gives nothing.
