    Packet Loss - Please help me
    « on: July 06, 2016, 10:47:36 AM »
    Hello everyone!
    I work online for a company in Taipei hosted by Chief Telecom. Lately, I've been experiencing packet loss between my connection and 2 of their servers (152.101.38.101 - Hong Kong, Quarry Bay) and 203.85.37.35 (Singapore). When I try to do a tracert, for example to the server from Singapore. I get these results:

    C:\Users\Dye>tracert 203.85.37.35

    Tracing route to 203.85.37.35 over a maximum of 30 hops

    Does the 3rd hop's 1st RTT column cause the problem?

    In terms of Internet Speed, I use an ethernet cable, have fiber optic, modem's firmware is fully updated and my internet speed when testing to Taipei, Chief Telecom is - 329ms, 6.45 download speed, 4.42 upload speed (their requirements are 800kb d/s and 400kb u/s)

    What do I do? Can anyone help me??
    I've contacted my ISP but they are playing the quickly dismiss game.
    Please help!

    A 2 % lose is not extreme, but it is higher than it should be. Your lose should be  more like about 0.05 % or one  prone part in two thousand.   You can check with other servers and find what is typical in your  area.
    A number of providers do not consider packet loss to be a matter of concern.  This kind of thinking is potentially harmful. But it is hard to convince others that it matters.

      Thank you very much for your reply Geek 9-pm.

      Do you have any suggestions on how I can find the typical server for my area?
      Seeing that this company's ITs always ping for 5 different servers, 2 from Taiwan, 1 from South Africa, 1 from Hong Kong and 1 from Singapore when testing the connection. What should I do to solve this packet loss?

      Please excuse me if the answer is quite obvious, I barely know anything about these topics ^^

      Thanks again
