Has ping / tracert been blocked on 5g network?

Testing with a Garuda Linux client with a verbose ping to 8.8.8.8 currently it runs with roughly 100 ms latency but out of 43 packets sent 13 received responses so roughly 70% packet loss. Running a speedtest I am still obtaining 275-300 down and meh… 21 mbps upload so the bandwidth is there but the ICMP traffic is impaired or throttled. I sort of suspect it has something to do with throttling for one reason or another. I suppose it may be related to changes with the CGNAT solution but probably a throttling of the traffic. Testing with a MacBook Pro via a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter the response times are worse than with either of the Linux clients I have used but still bad either way.

Pretty clear it is useless without using a VPN.

Same here in Littlerock AR.  I am a Citrix Admin (Working remote 100% of the time); I always have the end user ping our NetScaler gateway to see that the response time is when they say their remote session is sluggish.

Now even I cannot get a reliable ping response, but I am still able to work remotely.

Seems like ICMP has been throttled.

Not good.

Might have to go back to SuddenLink.

Cannot use this connection if I cannot even ping a remote site.

On the bright side, a new ISP is coming to my area with fiber, still under construction but fingers crossed they are better than SuddenLink and Century Link

Example:

Pinging google.com [142.250.72.46] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Request timed out.
Reply from 142.250.72.46: bytes=32 time=117ms TTL=110
Request timed out.

With all the Request time outs, my Internet is fine.

If I RDP into a computer at work and ping a remote site, I get great ping responses.
