I just moved to an apartment. I use to have Verizon Fios, now I have Time Warner Cable (all they offer in this area).

For the first week, I didn't notice any problems. It just started happening yesterday. Today, when I run ping plotter, the packet loss is less severe. Seems I have a bad hop @ the 4th and 5th ones... then it will show pkt loss at Chicago. But, like you said, I think it may be coming from this dfw (the 5th one) hop (wouldn't be the first time the DFW hop starting acting up).

I just don't know how to troubleshoot packet loss as I can't tell where it is originating. I'll call my ISP if this persists. 

As for the time of day, I've only played at night (when most people are sharing my cable line, I'm sure). I'll have to test it out sometime when I'm home during the day.

Anyway, thanks for the quick response.


[quote=&quot;emac&quot;]Hop #8 is when you reach the datacenter.  I'll check with GigeNET to see if there's a problem on our side since you are getting packet loss/high ping inside the datacenter.  But I have a feeling it may be hop #5 that's adding the packet loss to the hops after it.

Are you always having this problem?  Or is at specific times of the day?
