Yes. Every day at roughly 2AM EDT the latency climbs to 700ms+ with about 25% packet loss and fluctuates until about 
6-7AM.

While DPI is a likely culprit, be sure to not overlook a good
old-fashioned inability to manage capacity, combined with certain

if you're measuring the end-to-end path you'll likely see evidenced of
the latency climbing on a near daily cycle.

my median rtt from the us east coast is 268ms sometimes it's north of
370 with essentially the same loss properties.
