  I noticed this about the same time I installed Ubiquiti gear at home,
  December 2018.

  Until this thread, I thought there was something wrong with my gateway
  router config. I could do UDP/TCP traceroutes, but ICMP kept dying.

  Glad to know it isn't my gateway, but frustrated as hell that Verizon
  decided that a few customers doing less-than-ideal things was enough to
  cut a standard network protocol off at the knees.
