My friend is having some troubles with his connectivity, mainly when it rains. Here is his stats from the F@st modem. I'm more 'up-to-date' with the older style 4200, so I can't specifically comment on it because of the newer modem.

What I had suggested was to run a dedicated line and use a NID filter. What do you all think? He is subscribed to the 6meg service. Here is a traceroute too:

If someone could let me know a course of action he should take, whether it be trying to test the signal levels at the NID or initiating technical support, let me know!
Thanks guys.
