Hi,
I have been having quite a number of connection issues on my line recently, where the line slows to a complete crawl, and then very shortly afterward goes back up to normal. This has caused issues in several games, especially ones where I am the host. Others have complained about poor internet when connecting, or I will drop out of the game. Additionally, I am having issues with Skype on a work computer, where I am frequently disconnected, and I sometimes drop down on quality or long buffering on streaming (Apple TV, Youtube on computer). Connection is supposed to be the 100 MB package.
I've been randomly running tracert to google.com, to see if I can see problems. Periodically I see high pings, especially if I can run it during obvious connection issues, but normally it seems to be in the teens for ping, with maybe 30s for prime times. Additionally, I have been watching the modem status, on advice from a friend, and looking at SNR and power. SNR always is above 30, while power is between 8 and 15 dbMv. Any further suggestions of tests, so I can diagnose if it is a line issue Mediacom has to fix, versus something in my setup or house?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
