Much the same deal it seems with WinMTR... ICMP can only get you so far.
Standout seems to be 203.8.177.110 where the latency spikes and the packet
loss begins.

Not overly surprising results, although at least the packet loss seems to
be reducing a bit now. I did the right thing and contacted my service
provider as well to log a ticket on their end (hello to anyone who might
end up with the escalation! :-D )
