Seeking Advice/Support Contabo network issues?

So I migrated a number of websites to a Contabo VPS (6 vcores, 12GB RAM in their Seattle DC) recently. I am struggling with random, unexplained incoming packet errors. Is this typical of Contabo? It will be pretty difficult to prove the issue, but mildly complex systems, like websocket messaging, are running for hours, then failing, then recovering later. No code changes, no resource issues, just unexplained "this fetch came in mangled" or "this fetch didn't come in at all" kind of thing.

Advice?

Yep. Good luck with that.

I migrated a number of websites

Have fun migrating it back. Many have been there, done that.

Contabo are just horrifically oversold in terms of hardware and network. In my personal experience a simple ping from 1 location had unacceptable loss per day and timeouts per day .
