I am getting ~50% packet loss to 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.2, 216.58.216.238, and 172.217.1.46 on two separate Charter (Time Warner) lines in SE Wisconsin. It looks to be affecting just ping requests as DNS and google websites are still working.

Google have publicly stated that they rate limit ICMP to their public services such as 8.8.8.8 - so if you're only seeing ping requests being dropped but all other functionality operating as normal, then this is what you're seeing. Simon
