My internet has had some problems ever since I had it, but now it is getting worse. It will be fine for a while and then its like the connection drops. I can especially notice it when playing online games as it will be going smoothly then start to majorly lag for a bit then back to normal.

I did a ping test and it is showing packet loss and jitter. The weird thing though is that when I do a speed test I am getting 20 more mb/s download than I should while my upload and ping seems normal. I have looked around for a possible fix but none of them seem to apply to me.

Here are the ping test and speed test. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

However, most of my recent ping tests have shown "unable to test packet loss"
 


I tried to contact charter but their customer service is probably one of the worst. However, I was looking at my modem because we recently had a charter technician come out and hook up tv service. It seems when he got here he also mistakenly put a telephone box that was hooked up to the internet. I unplugged the cable from the splitter/telephone box so now it is a straight shot to the modem, and now everything is working perfectly fine. I guess it was just the bad job done by the technician?
Thanks for your reply though.
