My isp told me that my network's routing was changed thats why i am experiencing this and they suggested that I should get my own static ip.

Now i just want to confirm to you guys if this would really solve my problem or should i just change my ISP.

Your IP will not change between ping requests. It might change every day or something but even that would be a lot. Even if it changes they generally are in the same subnet but in any case they all will route the same. A ISP does not get some group of random ip addresses. They get large blocks and this is done to simplify and stablize the routing tables in the internet so it is highly unlikely the routing would change especially in a time frame you can even detect.

Packet loss like you are showing indicates some kind of errors in the network it is not related to the particular IP you happen to have at any time.

Maybe changing ISP would be a good idea just to get to someone who is not telling you a bunch of bull.
