You have to be very careful with tracert and how you interpret the results.
Like you say hop2 always times out. If this was a actual broken network every hop past it would also time out. How could data get past a node that was down. This is also true of the latency. If you have high ping times to a intermediate node but the ones past it are ok then you have to assume the data is false for some reason.
A actual problem starts in say hop 3 and continues on every hop past it to the end device. This means hop3 is likely the cause of a actual problem.
You are better off using constant ping commands for intermittent issues. Tracert and other tools do not run long enough and you would have to get lucky to happen to run it when the problem occurs.
First is to let a constant ping run to your router. This will verify your pc and router are not the cause of the problem. Make sure you run this on ethernet since wifi it is common to get random ping spikes.
The next step is normally to run the pings to hop 2 or hop 3 but it appears your ISP is blocking that ability. Generally if hop 1 is good and hop 2 is bad it pretty much proves the problem is between your house and the ISP. With the ISP blocking your ability to test this they can also lie and say there is no problems. You want to run the constant pings to the first hop that will respond and hope that the router is actually in your ISP network. If not they will try to blame the other ISP when the problem could actually be in the hops they are hiding from you.
Be some what careful what is running when you are testing. Bufferbloat is real problem but it only occurs when you are attempting to over utilize your connection. The over use of the connection is really only fixed with more bandwidth. The QoS feature that try to stop bufferbloat are mostly a bandaid that helps but does not fix the fundamental issue of not enough bandwidth.
Just be careful the problem is not bufferbloat if you see your issues even when the connection is not being used much.
Thanks for that reply it helps alot
pinging to my router seems to stay around 1ms
i did ping hop 4 instead as 2 & 3 are timed out and results are 100% packet loss
BELOW:
This is pretty much what i get when pinging any server too (in any location)
it is always like this at every 10 -20 lines spiking (usually around 70ms) it seems ofc to correlate with what i feel in game every so often or web browsing. My in game network tools show me "network latency variation" spiking with warning symbols
this issue is constant and never intermittent*
