**I've added a timeline of communication to my ISP over the course of my issues with packet loss and high latency. The timeline can be found at the bottom of the comments section as I did not specify an exact timeline in the video.
I threw this video together after a roughly 12 month battle with my ISP in regards to high latency and packet loss. Packet loss and latency were consistently bad during nights and weekends (during peak times of use). Gaming, streaming video, web browsing, VPN'ing in to work, etc - all unusable while outages occurred.
Outages occurred daily for weeks on end - and consistently over the course of almost a year before I was notified that my neighborhood node was "oversaturated" and being split.
If you're experiencing issues with your internet, check the video out and use the tips supplied to make sure your internal network isn't to blame. If your internal network checks out, reach out to your ISP for a fix. If your ISP doesn't react, begin filing complaints through various private and public organizations to put pressure on them for a fix.
