Recently moved into a new place and have had perfectly fine internet service for the past two months or so. However, tonight I noticed minor periodic lag when playing online games. It was just enough to make the game not really playable.
A speedtest showed our download speed as being quite good (60 mbps, which is about what we usually get) but the upload was much worse than usual, around 1.5 mbps. When I ran a pathping test to the Diablo 3 servers (the game I was playing), it showed some minor packet loss:

It got better for a little bit around 11 pm then got worse again at 2:30 AM. I noticed this happening as early as 5pm tonight. It doesn't seem to have much to do with network congestion.
Signal levels seem normal, at least as far as I'm aware.

Since this is the first time I've noticed this, maybe they're just doing some minor work in the area and it could end tomorrow. I figured I'd post it here and see if anyone knew what was up. If it persists, I'll call and maybe get a tech to come out.
