>20% Upstream packet loss from Seattle
I am experiencing upstream packet loss in Comcast's network from Seattle. It looks like its at the hop between 68.86.83.2 and 75.149.231.90 (both still on Comcast before Google peering). This is the Comcast route to Google services from my location, and is making my Google Apps usage (Gmail, etc..) inconsistent and unreliable.

It is also affecting a lot of destination hosts for me besides Google. Google DNS was the easiest test case to provide data on.

While on the phone with Comcast tech support, this problem ceased. The first agent I talked to said I could not email her my ping/traceroute data, and that there was no problem on their end and I should buy signature support.
The second agent I talked to actually was trying to be helpful and was willing to document the issue and send it up the food chain, when the issue resolved itself. I guess a router admin somewhere found the problem and fixed it.

...and the problem is back 5 minutes after I get off the phone with tech support. Comcast, you are not providing business-grade service today!

I've also been getting some intermittent loss from Kirkland since yesterday. Seems a bit better this morning, but still lossy. This is impacting a lot of hosts, but I'll compare with op for data's sake.

Looks like its a pretty widespread outage affecting a ton of people in the Puget Sound region, and at least someone at Comcast knows about it:
