Yea, its not just you. I've had problems playing games for many many months now. Sometimes it'll be fine for awhile, other times (like today) anything even remotely latency sensitive is worthless. I literally just had to rage quit Rocket League because the ball was teleporting all over the place.
I wrote some custom software to keep track of my network and the first few hops outside of it to multiple endpoints, and there is constant drops / spikes going out as well.
A snapshot of the data from the past few days.. you can see how inconsistant the network is after it leaves my house.

All of that is after:
A new cable modem
A new router
New drops into the house
New drop from the street to the house...
I thought it was just me who had it this bad today, I was unable to play rocket league today because of how bad the lag was. Games like it and fortnite will always show consistent upstream packet loss, and at some times it isn't bad but certainly noticeable but there are days and times when it just gets ridiculous. I've heard it may be a routing problem to AWS servers, a tech came out the other day and saw nothing and almost didn't believe my issue and said that he would have gotten many more complaints if it was as bad as I said and that he didn't know what the problem could be. If you have any ideas how to diagnose this please let me know. I'm currently running a ping plotter for 24 hours to see if there is some sort of pattern.

There could always be that as well, but if it was just that my link up above wouldn't show the consistent spikes on every hop outside of the network. I'd expect that we would see those stay steady and stuff past that would spike up.
