Hey GKMedic,
Packet loss is normally an indication of a problem with the connection, and since you could also isolate the problem to your home network by bringing your setup to a second location, I'd recommend you check your home network's configuration more in-depth and make changes there.
To start, for instance, you could try using a different Ethernet cable and different ports on the PC/Modem; sometimes that helps.
If you have another modem/router to try, it might help you further isolate whether the problem stems from the hardware rather than the network.
Have you already tried changing the DNS to Google's or OpenDNS for a few hours to check if that helps?
Maybe there are just too many other devices connected to your home network while you play that are causing interference?
It could also be something on the ISP's side that you can't fix by yourself.
I don't have direct visibility into your network, so I can't help you pinpoint the problem exactly; however, you could reach out to your ISP to see if they can address the packet loss specifically. I can tell you that setting up a DMZ or a Static IP helped other players in the past.
I hope these suggestions help you figure this out. Let us know how it goes!

well, I have a static IP, do you think it helped me? 😂
you can read my research in another thread...the change from dynamic to static has nothing to do with it
