It is definitely much better since mid January with increasing satellite density. Getting the antenna to a really high position on your roof with no tree obstructions around is important. Right now it's averaging about 0.28% loss to Seattle over the past 3 hours. But there are still some very brief periods of 4-5 second hiccups. Based on the monitoring systems I have running, it's more like 0.00% loss for long extended periods of the time now, and then a minute or two with about 10% loss. I haven't tested it a lot for online gaming but realtime voice/video conference type stuff all appears to work normally.

There is presently a very big difference in simultaneous satellite density and lack of gaps at 49N vs 44-45N, however.
