This is Causing major ping spikes, and rubber banding WinMTR shows 70% packet loss at 96.1.221.82, This IP is part of Telus's routing
Wont let me post the raw text or an image. so not sure how you want me to show the full log

Community Power UserYeah, again that doesn't mean that's where the problem is. If the results that come after that have no packet loss, then that one IP is not blocking any traffic from passing through. What's the target server address that you're testing to? What program or game is it from?
Server, is biweekly.us.moose.gg on Rust It seems to be sporadic and usual worse around mid day / early evening pst

When I test from here the one big thing I notice is that with the MTR you can't even test to the server itself. The MTR goes in circles through the server host's multiple DDOS routers. Most of the latency I see is coming from those specifically and I wouldn't be surprised if they're contributing to, or were responsible for the connection issues. That's assuming the end server itself isn't. The Cloudflare nodes the traffic goes through before reaching the host all seem to have quite low latency and no sign of packet loss. I don't see any packet loss to the DDOS routers so far. If there is an unexpected traffic spike going through those routers, it's entirely possible that they may impact the connection stability with the servers in their local network there, not just the one you're trying to connect to.
