I've been having a problem recently where I get very high packet loss in some servers/applications but not others at peak times (7pm onward) everyday.
In mumble and teamspeak, I get around 40% or even higher packet loss. I also get very high loss in CS:GO matchmaking servers as well as faceit and ESEA (Around 40% as well). The surprising thing is I get no packet loss in CS:GO FFA dm servers or any community servers, neither do I in TF2 game servers.
I am on university halls internet which is obviously not ideal but the nature of the problem where I only get loss on some servers makes me feel like there could be some fix. I initially thought it could be some sort of issue with the university's firewall blocking or slowing some ports but the CS:GO servers all run on around the same port and I only get loss on the competitive servers.
I am connected by ethernet so that isn't the problem. Thanks so much to anyone that can help.
EDIT: forgot to say, ping is excellent in all cases, it is just packet loss.

Probably a routing issue to certain destinations.
Using WinMTR you can trace where the packet loss occurs, but there's little you can do yourself to fix that.

if you can pinpoint where it's getting dropped (with traceroutes) reliably you can go to your uni department responsible for halls internet. if they can be arsed to they'll let the isp know, or if you know the isp you could do it yourself.
if you have traceroutes the isp SHOULD elevate that to whoever owns the network with bad routing, but it's all up to them.

I SUMMON SETSUL
I had the same problem. Setsul helped me, and figured ot that it was just cable problem.
Check provider problems or cable.
