Fortnite Competitive responded about a month ago saying issues were specific to certain ISP found here:

Hey Janet you seem tech savy. Do you play on pc? If so my friend has a theory about it being an mtu size issue causing fragmentation then discard. Is there a way you can test using different mtu size settings. If so let us know how in game stats look. My pc is down so i cant test it, also my cox rented equipment doesnt even allow me to change it 😞 here is a link he shared with me to try it out
I tried changing the MTU size earlier on when I saw something about PS4 and their MTU size having issues from a post like 2 years ago. I gave it a shot, but it did not resolve the packet loss. I will say as of right now I was running more traceroutes and the the time outs that normally would occur at specific spots once inside the Amazon network are not showing anymore. For example.
tracert 52.42.109.244
Tracing route to ec2-52-42-109-244.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com [52.42.109.244]

3 13 ms 11 ms 10 ms 100.126.4.106

7 62 ms 70 ms 65 ms 54.239.102.42
8 51 ms 51 ms 47 ms 54.239.102.47
9 79 ms 78 ms 77 ms 54.239.42.116
Usually you would see time outs around 6 and like 8 like in the earlier posts, but as of right now that is not happening.
At the same time though I still get a 1% packet loss in upload on Fortnite, but I have not had any blank shots yet that I have noticed in game. So I think it is starting to be fixed.
I was going to switch to centurylink but they never showed for the appointment, so here i am praying cox or epic finds a solution!!
