Check hop 9 this has been happening for about a week.&nbsp; Seems a bit excessive.&nbsp; So who sets the routing?
Extremely bad game play.
Thanks for any responses.

well if you are asking who is in charge of routing, as in your isp or the server owners. lets say you are playing fortnite for instance, fortnite is hosted on the AWS Server aka amazon web servers, and if you are lagging and getting packetloss get the server ip and pingplotter it, if your packetloss originates from the cox network you can tell, it is most likely the first 5-6 hops, then if you are getting packetloss in the AWS, or whatever you are pinging, it is the game servers/website that is dropping packets and is out of COX's control.

and out of your control, there is most likely nothing you can do about that but try to email them and state your problem (to your game devs or website support staff) in order to attempt to try and get them to fix it, but that is about all you can do tbh.

ookla lets you select alternate test servers &amp; you won't always get the best ping/results off the closest server.
