Consistent ~5% Packet Loss (Connecticut)
I'm a Cox customer living in CT. I have been experiencing packet loss for the past few weeks. It does not appear to be on my end. Below I'll post MTR results (I am pinging a Blizzard game server).
I should mention that this is over a wired connection.

My router does not have any packet loss, but I immediately experience 4% packet loss here at the second hop (not exactly sure where this is). I just want to make sure that my router/modem are not causing any issues. It's possible that this second hop is perhaps in my apartment complex or somewhere nearby, but again, I don't know where all these hops are located.
Most of the evening, I experience this 3-5% packet loss, and it is noticeable, particularly over VoIP (Discord).Strangely enough, I had a ~4 hour window last night with no packet loss, but it came back late last night and is present as I type this post now.
I'm not a network engineer, so perhaps I missed something in the MTR above. Just looking for input so I can better understand the issue.
Thanks,
Ryan
