Arc Raider + bad INP – Impulse Noise Protection

Question

I got a very annoying issue and I was wondering if anyone else ran into it and got a fix.
So even tho I average like 150fps in Arc, game feels like 30fps, I get the yellow/orange packet loss symbol a lot.
My internet is stable, performance is great.

After some research, turns out my INP is super high, normal would be 2 or 4, 8 is considered high, I'm at 29.

It basically sets the tolerance for false or missing packets, high value means high tolerance, so your connection stays stable, even tho you got a low quality connection, but the latence suffers. Currently there are constructions going on and most likely the value is set to "construction mode". Basically "make the connect survive at any cost"

It can take weeks until the value gets lowered.

I got little issues in other games, I notice it here and there but it's playable.
Arc Raiders is unplayable tho, rubber banding, laggy, feels like massive frame drops.

I talked to my provider, dude on the phone didn't even know what I'm talking about, he was like "uuuh yeah I tested the connection, it's stable and transfer rates are great".

I actually don't think there's much I can do, curious if anyone else experience a similar issue.
