But are you seeing that packet loss reflected on every hop past that point? ISP routers are often configured to rate-limit or block responses to ping and traceroute requests since both require the router to actually process the packet with their CPU rather than simply forward the packets which is done via specialized hardware ASICs. If you see packet loss at one hop but you don’t see similar packet loss on every hop from that hop on, chances are you’re running into rate limiting or blocking and it’s not impacting your actual packet forwarding.

This is also a reason why Lynn’s suggestion to pick a local ISP router may work they way you’d want either.
