Intermittent packet loss on Cox routers

Hello,

Have been getting intermittent packet loss recently. It will occur when doing simple web browsing or streaming. I have below a list of pathpings showing where the loss occurs.

The links between endpoints that show either 100% packet loss or ~80% are Cox assets and out of my control.

I get the same results with the modem on the outside of my home and the cable from the pole directly plugged in.
