Testing/Comparing 2 Different ISP Circuits for Point to Point Streaming

Our team in Washington DC has access to 2 different ISP circuits, each 1GB - Comcast and Verizon.

I'm looking to find out the best way to run a "long term" (a few days or even hours) test to compare the reliability of Comcast vs Verizon.

Whichever ISP circuit we select in DC will be used transport two 7Mbps video streams to and from our main office in NY. (using SRT Video Streaming Protocol).

I'm looking to detect latency spikes or any packet loss along the route from DC to NY and then select a circuit in DC accordingly.

Thus far, RTT times back to NY are lower on Verizon, but with this streaming protocol spikes in latency or packet loss is more of a consideration and would lean us toward one circuit or another.

Is iperf maybe able to be ran over a long duration and possibly be graphed visually somehow?

Thanks all so much!
