High packet loss

Hi everyone, I've been noticing some very high packet loss recently (my online gaming started to judder to a halt, losing signal and commands, 30ms up to 15k ms latency and total connection loss etc.) I've ran tracerts that appear to show packet loss near verizon addresses as well as some unknown locations ??? with 100% loss.  Also pingtest.net alternated from 7% loss at the lowest end to 26%!!

This is ridiculous, it started after Nemo and I'm wondering if anyone else in the area has experienced this (or if anyone at verizon knows what's going on here?)

where's your game server, and are you wired or wireless when running that test?

have you done any traceroutes that you can post?

I'm running wireless but it literally only started a few days ago.  I've tried changing channels, releasing ips etc.  the usual stuff and finally just returning the router to default but nothing.  It dropped to 3% loss last night and is back up to 26% at the time of writing.

Here are a couple of tracerts, I'm assuming the * are dropped packets or non replies.
