Public bug reported:

Intermittently and unpredictably, ping response times and packet loss
will spike to unusable levels.  Normal ping times are about .25 ms for
other hosts on the local network, with essentially no packet loss.
During the problematic periods (usually lasting 2-10 minutes), packet
loss jumps to about 50% and ping response times on the packets that
aren't dropped jump to between 250 and 750 ms.

This behavior started when I upgraded from Kubuntu 16.04 to Kubuntu
18.04.  Changing which host on the network I test this with has no
effect (and during this, those other hosts are able to use the network
without any problem).  Replacing the cable changes nothing.  Using a
different Ethernet interface changes nothing.  Replacing the switch
changes nothing.  This is almost certainly not a hardware problem.

There is a chance that using wireless instead of Ethernet would fix the
issue, but I have been avoiding that since the wired connection is much
faster when Kubuntu is not malfunctioning.
