Well my ISP is Comcast broadband and I am getting kind of fed up with page time outs and random disconnects. The problem isn't with my home network and appears to be on the ISP side or ISP backbone provider. Persistant pings to comcast are flawless with 0 lost packets, yet to just about all other sites persistantly pinged there are lost packets.
Attached is screenshot showing lower left of persistant flawless to comcast, and google top left and yahoo top right with packet loss, and blizzard in lower right with 100+ms latency's.
Anyone know if this is the norm or should I collect data with batch loggers and try to convince comcast they have a problem or one of there backbone internet providers has packet loss.
How is everyone elses persistant pings to Google and Yahoo...do you also see packet loss, yet none with your ISP as well.
It could be argued that traffic to yahoo and google are causing the lost packets, but traffic I would assume would add latency in resolving and not time outs. With response times near 30-40ms and time outs, if traffic was the culprit I would expect larger latencies than 30ms between dropped packets.
*Update*- Traceroute also attached. Going to try all the hops to see where it gets bad... That might show where the issue is maybe.
