It began happening early to mid-March most fervently and, since then, I began trying different VPN/Tunneling services to see if that was the cause. Nothing of note changed with my hardware/software around the time of this issue. As stated in the original post, it is most problematic during primetime and in instances. Outside of primetime (4AM-5PM EST) still has mild jitter with little packet loss. I have not had any disconnection errors relating to this issue. I am on a wireless connection using a standalone modem (ARRIS SURFboard) and router (Asus Onhub).
