Looking normal for me again now... hope it lasts.
Someone, somewhere has done something..... Fine for now.
For me download speeds are back to relative normal, but I'm still having high packet loss, that gives me warnings in online games like Overwatch.
Leaving WinMTR running for 10 minutes, this is what I get.
Like 21% packet loss is pretty extreme.

OK, what you are seeing is a common misconception for people reading a tool like MTR. One hop is showing a lot of loss, but the next isn't. This does not actually tell you that overall you have 21% packet loss. Routers (large expensive ones) rate limit control packets (like ICMP) into the route engine so it is quite normal for them to throw away non critical packets directed at the router itself to protect overall operation of the device. If you had 21% packet loss and it continued like that on the rest of the hops then its a different story. It appears you have 1% loss at a glance, not 21%.

And it's actually a lot less than 1% because it's 1 packet dropped from 737. One packet dropped in such a high number could happen for any reason (incl those two IP's deprioritising ICMP as well).
Basically that WinMTR trace shows a good connection with no faults.
