For those who can make a report, please do it. Or else they are not gonna think this is a serious issue.
We need a template for people to use for their MCMC complaints that points to this very problem which is clear enough that TM has no leeway to lay blame on the users as they always do (and hassle both their customers and employees with needless house visits - something we could really do without during this pandemic).
Guess it should include a "no, I do not wish to receive unexpected houseguests" disclaimer, a checklist of "I have done this, this and that to signify there is nothing wrong on my end" and the heart of the report, a table with times of day and latency/traceroute results (with a list of additional/recommended "important" hosts to ping for parity across all reports).
<rant>So far my experience with two decades of hotline reports and MCMC complaints for bad routing all ends up with me serving the technicians drinks while we sit around the computer doing absolutely nothing until a senior staffer lets drop the "let's swap your port", which does absolutely nothing. I have no idea how TM works but I guess people at their paygrade have no way to escalate and tell the NOC guys they f-ed up hard.</rant>
