> It's at a latitude sufficient that packet loss and service unavailability is averaging about 0.25% (1/4th of 1 percent) over multi day periods.

Do you have any more specific data you could share there? For example, how much of that percentage is caused by downtime and how much is caused by random lost packets outside of downtime? Or how long does it go unavailable?

That's total unavailability time for a basic series of 20 icmp pings sent to a target in Seattle very close to the cgnat gateway exit point. On a 60s Cron job. Very close to a default smokeping installation. My 0.25% would be even less if I could remove one problematic tree in a 1/12th quadrant of the cpe's obstruction measurement system.

Not within the past 3-4 weeks, but there have been previous times of 30 to 120 minute downtime at 0200 in the morning local time while the starlink people do terminal firmware updates and other changes in the network.
