Would like to add that I suspected XO.NET to be the root issue. NordVPN has a server (US2) which allows me to entirely bypass ptr.us.xo.net with a slightly longer route. (still routes through ntt.net).
Issue resolved immediately after that. My ping is 15ms higher, sure, but I'm not disconnecting during almost every attempt to connect to 66.55.145.2; virtually zero issues at all so far.
