I've just been on the phone to the helpdesk for about half an hour and they tell me there's nothing wrong.
I've had my connection for 5 years so I think I know when there's something wrong.
I'm currently seeing between 10% and 90% packet loss on the first hop to the UBR. The helpdesk guy said if he sends packets to my PC he sees the same loss but if he sends packets to my cable modem they are ALL getting through. Well, there's just no way I believe that. My connection was working fine all morning and now it's really bad. He says it's a firewall problem. Again, that's crap, he's talking utter b*lls**t.
How can he be seeing no packet loss to my cable modem. My thinking is the UBR is probably congested. Is there any way I can convince the helpdesk there is a problem, I'm pulling my hair out here.
The IP of my UBR is 10.222.199.254
Thanks
