Geee thanks for ignoring us...

(Edit: problem mentioned in this part of post has since been corrected by site management so it's irrelevant now.)

As a monitoring user for over five years now (two DSL connections and two web servers), let me tell you that this tool has become unreliable for anything but tracking trends in your own line over a very long time period. Lately the lines it monitors have been far more stable than the monitor watching them. Do NOT assume that your line has a problem unless there are several others in your area not showing the same latency spike, packet loss or connection defect. Until someone gets serious about fixing the issues with the monitors--especially the west coast servers--beware if you are east of the Mississippi.

Re: Geee thanks for ignoring us...

Unfortunately I have to agree. The monitors haven't been reliable for me, and it appears packet loss is common on all the ones I've seen. The SJC line monitor shows packet loss often, and in fact, all the line monitors under the ISP I use (Mediacom/mchsi) all entries show some percentage of packet loss from that monitor. Been that way for some time now. The New Jersey shows some percentage of packet loss for most of the line monitors on Mediacom users here as well.

The lack of interest factor when presenting them to an ISP is something else I agree with that was mentioned by another in this topic. In the past, I've presented mine to my ISP a couple times to show all 3 show packet loss a few times. My ISP's only response has been that it is possible that networks out of their control are responsible, so they dismiss them rather quickly.
