I’ve tried all the suggestions to improve my connection, but nothing seems to help. Sometimes I go long stretches of staying connected, sometimes I’m constantly losing my connection. I don’t remember when it started exactly, but it’s been pretty consistently happening for the past several weeks. Below is the WinMTR stats from when it happened a little while ago. I started running it after my second to last DC and printed it after the latest disconnect.

UPDATE
As a techie, I figured I’d share - I think this was due to my modem periodically temporarily losing connectivity with the internet. It usually recovers so quickly I don’t notice, but it finally went down hard this morning, and resets and reboots weren’t helping.
Ultimately what fixed it was:
- unplugging the modem
- disconnecting the coax
- plugging the modem in and waiting for it to start back up
- unplugging the modem again
- reconnecting the coax
- plugging the modem back in
Connection has been stable ever since
