Yes, packet loss is a significant problem. It means data isn't reliably reaching its destination, leading to slow loading times, buffering, and potentially connection drops. Packet loss can originate from your ISP, network congestion, or faulty network hardware. Contacting your ISP is the first step to investigate.
