For the last couple of days I've been running into patches of what appears to be extreme packet loss; ping reports packet loss of >50% (sometimes >80%), and long-running TCP connections are slowed to a crawl but not stopped entirely. Power cycling the cable modem (a 3Com CMX) appears to fix it for anything from a few minutes to a few hours or more. I retain my IP address across power cycles, as usual. I'm in Cambridge (CB4). Anyone else seeing this? (BTW, as far as I can tell I've not been upgraded from 600k to 750k yet, but I'm not absolutely sure of that.)

We had a couple of breaks in service earlier today. They didn't last long enough for me to try to work out what was going on. -- Tim Ward - posting as an individual unless otherwise clear Brett Ward Ltd - www.brettward.co.uk Cambridge Accommodation Notice Board - www.brettward.co.uk/canb Cambridge City Councillor
