Two useful references I've found are the following:
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2012/08/a-closer-look-at-latency-and-packet-loss-on-the-biggest-broadband-isps.html which covers UK ADSL and Fibre,
Page 44 of https://community.cablelabs.com/wiki/plugins/servlet/cablelabs/alfresco/download?id=3edb1609-17ff-4844-87ed-124314a73e7c which covers US cable markets.

The key summary from these:
ADSL: Typically less than 0.5%, though some providers seem to get much worse quality (up to 1.5%)
Fibre: Typically less than 0.3% but during congested periods may go higher -up to about 1%
Cable: Average was 0.000026529%, Very Worst case was 1.3%, 78.5% had 0 packet loss over 24 hours.

Obviously these are all market and technology dependent and are averages so there may be significant outliers.
Any more detailed references would be very useful in understanding this (and for FEC scheme proposals when the WG gets to that).
