| That would be because that not really 32% signal loss. You might want to read: »Cox HSI Forum FAQ »How is prioritizing any different from loss? for an explanation of what you are seeing. |

Thanks much. If a series of tests over different times and days show different results, this could be because of prioritizing? If there is a consistent loss in the same range 30-40%, would this indicate a problem with the router? |

But remember if the hop after it does not have any loss then it's not actually losing anything. It's just not responding to your ICMP packet. |
