[Connectivity] Packet loss in Somerville, MA

Every few minutes the connection will drop packets for a few seconds, then resume. More frequently than that, it will just drop a couple packets. This is not noticeable if you're streaming a movie or browsing the web, but very obvious in ssh/rdp or anything of the sort. If I run a continuous ping, I will get around 5-8% packet loss overall.

Tried restarting the modem and router, did not resolve the issue.

The »ma.speedtest.rcn.net/ is showing that I have less than my typical bandwidth (probably due to packet loss).

As far as I know, this is a very recent thing, perhaps today only or last few days (today is Jan 26).

Continuing to have poor service in Somerville, MA with less than typical bandwidth and periodic packet loss.

RCN, please don't increase prices this month while decreasing quality of service.
