Packet Loss at Atlanta Comcast Hops

I have recently started getting significant amounts of packet loss and latency spikes while playing online games.  I checked drivers, restarted my machine, restarted the router, and still the issue persists.  I have run Ping Plotter to see where the issues lie and consistently the Atlanta Comcast server (hops 6 & 7) pops up as the problematic location.  What is the process to get this addressed and how can I help get this escalated and resolved quickly?

I've seen comments about the frequency of pings causing false packet loss.  I changed the frequency to 5 second intervals and still the problem shows as the same location
