Everything is back to normal.  Disabled VPN and tested.

I 100% agree about the ICMP de-prioritization and what it looks like.  Just ping -n 1000 8.8.8.8, resulted in 10 - 20 % dropped pings as well.  Switched to the VPN solution and the ping -n 1000 8.8.8.8 went to 0% dropped. 

I was using 8.8.8.8 for my primary DNS.  I switched to 1.1.1.1, which did not see any packet loss.  However, I did not think about switching primary DNS until after disabling the VPN and everything returned back to normal.
