Occasional GV Packet Loss Normal?

I've been paying more attention to my OBI Call stats lately and have noticed that, when using Google Voice, I normally have very low packet loss. However, on some calls (Maybe 10% of my calls) I have a steady packet loss of about 10%

You can see my call stats for one of these calls in the attached image.

I've tested this quite a bit and can say the following:

1) I did 10 back to back test calls from my OBI/GV to my cell phone and left myself a 2 minute long voicemail each time.
2) 8 of those 10 calls had 0% packet loss and the message sounded great
3) 2 of those 10 calls had an identical packet loss rate of 10% though those messages also sounded fine.
4) I've tried about a dozen calls with other services (voip.ms and circlenet) and haven't experienced any packet loss

Is this normal, or at least typical? Is this a GV issue, an OBI issue or something with my network?

FWIW, GV seems worse than RingTo for dropped packets as far as I can tell.
