    if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/packetloss"))

        new szString[144];
        format(szString, sizeof(szString), "Packets lost: %.2f percent.", NetStats_PacketLossPercent(playerid));
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, szString);
    }
    return 1;
}

Anything greater than 0.0% should already be a cause of concern. Anything greater than 1.0% is outright bad.
