Getting packet loss every few minutes on the MFN network for about 3 seconds, is anyone experiencing this ?
ISP is kiklo, never had this issue before but for the past two days its been happening non stop, you see it very easily on my USG as it has second by second checking non stop and within DOTA 2 and CSGO the stats show it.

Moving to CISP in a months time but just wanting to know if anyone is also dealing with this.

Loss seems to be sitting at the Calix ONT/CPE

Anything that one can do about that ?

If the loss isnt compounding it doesn't matter that there is loss at that hop. It's only the loss further down, the 0.1% that would have any effect. But that is seen as being acceptable within normal range.

just a calix restart seems to have helped

Great but as mentioned it was only affecting traffic to that hop and not anything beyond it, so realistically would have no difference on your connectivity.
