Here's my output:

I don't have access to a FTTA connection to do the test in reverse
[1]. I don't know why you are getting packet loss. I would not
conclude that "more than 3/5 of the traffic is lost" because of the
results of your test. You commented that there was "some action from
Emtel and Orange to fix the peering". As a user I would agree that
one or both of these companies did something positive.

1. The test is debatable.
