Severe intermittent packet loss and routing delays traced to Miami backbone node (be-33841-cs24.nota.fl.ibone.comcast.net)

Hello,

For months I have been experiencing ongoing connection reliability issues, including intermittent packet loss, dropped connections, and severe ping spikes.

To isolate the issue, I bypassed all Wi-Fi variables and hardwired my PC directly via Ethernet to my routing setup. Local network communication is completely flawless, but continuous tracing exposes a severe breakdown deep inside the Comcast infrastructure.

Here are the diagnostic details:

  • Local Loop Health: Hop 1 shows 0% packet loss and a 0ms average response time across hundreds of samples, ruling out my local router, cables, and PC.

  • The Root Issue: Severe 75% packet loss consistently begins at the regional Comcast backbone node: be-33841-cs24.nota.fl.ibone.comcast.net.

  • Latency Spikes: Severe latency degradation (up to 120ms+) introduces right before hitting this backbone switch.

Below is the exact WinMTR log showing the infrastructural failure in the Pompano/North Dade, FL routing path:

Additionally, when it rains, the reliability of the internet connection gets even worse.
