High Pings and Jitters along with Packet Loss

Hi all,

I have been having high pings and large packet loss every single day for the past 2 months (before the COVID-19 outbreak), and have had bufferbloat every time I connect to wifi. I thought the problem was with the Ethernet and hence bought a new wire to test yet this problem persisted. The following is my trace route to google:

Tracing route to www.google.com [2607:f8b0:4007:804::2004]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complete.

The third hop almost always times out and I have no idea why. Please let me know what I can do, I have tried everything contacted all technicians but they have not been able to figure out anything. I currently use a 150mbps residential connection with a Netgear C6250 router modem.
