Significant packet loss on be-3-arsc1.needham.ma.boston.comcast.net node

I am running PingPlotter and I am seeing consistent and significant packet loss on be-3-arsc1.needham.ma.boston.comcast.net
Over 90% overall PL with complete loss every 1 minute 30 secs.
I tried posting a screen grab but form does not allow.

@user_zrwr78 thank you for sending the direct message. I'll follow up with you there to check on the area equipment signal levels and location health to see if there are anything out of specifications, and can run through some troubleshooting. Working from home myself I know how important it is to have your home network running correctly. 

If you haven't checked this post before, there is some helpful information for self-help troubleshooting and checking the equipment signal levels:
