| [KS] intermittent periods of packet loss/extreme latency Cable internet, most of the time my connection is just fine, but some evenings(sometimes several times in an evening) I see a period of seconds to minutes long of extremely high latency and packet loss, which makes pretty much everything unusable(ventrillo stalls, I get dropped from games, and even web browsing is maddening):
first couple hops generally look like this:
2 ip68-102-192-1.ks.ok.cox.net (68.102.192.1) 8.144 ms 7.389 ms 8.235 ms
3 70.183.70.37 (70.183.70.37) 8.170 ms 7.984 ms 7.954 ms
or this:
2 ip68-102-192-1.ks.ok.cox.net (68.102.192.1) 8.458 ms 16.684 ms 15.589 ms
3 70.183.70.33 (70.183.70.33) 7.732 ms 7.632 ms 7.839 ms
but then this happens: quote:

during one of these events the pings look virtually identical for 70.183.70.33:
--- 70.183.70.33 ping statistics ---
87 packets transmitted, 82 packets received, 5.7% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 8.429/275.368/1685.454/474.563 ms
but not for 68.102.192.1
--- 68.102.192.1 ping statistics ---
87 packets transmitted, 86 packets received, 1.1% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 8.193/20.565/54.927/9.884 ms
Which leads me to believe it's a problem at 68.102.192.1
Is there any specific thing I can tell my ISP that will get them to fix this? I've already sent them all this information, but they haven't done anything.
(and as for the part of the network I control, the latency to my modem is a solid 2 ms) |

| Any ideas on what would cause this type of problem? I think it might be either upstream saturation, or a processing problem in the router. |

try pull your router off and put your computer on a directly connection to the cable modem and just let pinging a plenty of time and post what's your results on the direct connection? |

| The issue persists with the router removed, and after a modem reset. Removing the router cuts about 1 ms from the average latency, and if it were a problem on my side of the modem i'd have fixed it myself.
I don't think it's a signal issue either, it's a routing issue.

We have been having trouble in Fort Smith Arkansas also. About 2 weeks before Dec 31st and on Dec 31st. Also Jan 5th and 6th. The Internet and Phone went down.
They sent a guy out Jan 6th because they did not like my modem signals. Tuned out to be the splitter the installer left in place back when I had Dish. I never had a problem with the Internet or phone except when there was an area outage. They did like like it.
Was also able to get my DVR fixed. It was not getting all the channels like it should. The modem something about it not having the right set of numbers or something close to that. |
