Question / Help Solid internet, but dropped frames?

So first off, I was only streaming my desktop and streaming in Just Chatting.
Good PC (7940x, 1080ti) and am running Nvidia NVENC at 900p at 60fps at 6000 bitrate.

I am running EMCO Ping Monitor in the background (very accurate internet performance monitor) and am getting 100% internet performance and 0 dropped packets, but twitch is dropping frames. I am running a 99 performance Twitch server only 150 miles away (found through TwitchTest from r1ch) EDIT: I redid my TwitchTest server and got abysmal numbers for West Coast (where I am)

350 down/35 up

https://gyazo.com/816fc729daca3b0f927bf8c23e141745 <---kept streaming til I lost 3800 frames and ended stream

My OBS Log of dropped frames:
7:02:06.909: Output 'adv_stream': Total frames output: 229805 (233774 attempted)
17:02:06.909: Output 'adv_stream': Total drawn frames: 233825 (233830 attempted)
17:02:06.909: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 5 (0.0%)
17:02:06.909: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 3969 (1.7%)
17:02:06.910: [rtmp stream: 'adv_stream'] Freeing 5 remaining packets

Just re-did my TwitchTest and got these numbers?

What the hell? Los Angeles was 99 a week or two ago for me.

Did another test and now it's back to 95+ rating?
What is this about?

Few notes about my setup:
- No Killer network drivers
- Not the modem/router (changed all those and same issues still)
- Not an encoding problem
- Don't know how the internet is routing so badly with the low quality scores I'm seeing (today)
- Hardwired Ethernet cable

What I'll try next:
- Install newer network drivers

Any ideas?

Thanks Narcogen,
I did and they are seeing zero ping drops on their end.
As well as on my end, there are zero packets lost as well.
