Severe packet loss on Cox regional routing nodes (Hops 5 & 6) to Zoom
I am experiencing severe connectivity degradation and lagging during my video sessions. I have run an advanced MTR connection test to
www3.zoom.us and isolated the issue to Cox's core routing infrastructure.
My local network, gateway, and modem signal levels are clear, but traffic is hitting a major bottleneck immediately after leaving my local ISP pool.
Here are the specific nodes dropping traffic:
- Hop 5 (68.1.1.13): Showing 80.95% packet loss
- Hop 6 (72.215.224.171): Showing 75.00% packet loss
Because the packet loss begins exactly at
68.1.1.13 and carries through, this points to a regional routing bottleneck, equipment congestion, or a misconfigured node on the Cox network side rather than a local hardware issue.
Could a community manager or Tier 2/Network Engineer please look into these specific network paths and check the health/capacity of these nodes?
Thank you.
