Let me begin by explaining the source of my new found depression. I had my cable installed about this time exactly a week ago. What I thought would lessen the frustration I endure in my day to day life, was actually able to spawn countless little spores that attach to my spine and frontal lobe inducing seemingly hours and hours of torment in mere minutes. If it's not apparent, I truly deeply madly hate @home.

The symptoms of my suffering includes; technical support that refuse to technically support me, tardy installer giving me none working USB adaptor and leaving prompty after telling me words of not truth, consistent packet loss every 30-60 seconds that is flat out rejected as an issue of concern. As you can see, me being alive after that week of genital mutiliation, can probably be seen as a message from god himself. Guiding me to my true calling, professional testimonial giver for anti-depressive drugs. Or more likely, I am god and it's quake 3 time at Krogers.

Your not the only one w/the packet loss blues, I got 'em too. (For over three months now.) http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/smile.gif All you can do is keep riding them until they take action. Hang in there...

the outage board for texas is full of areas with "intermittent connectivity and packet loss" they are aware of it and are supposedly working on it -- sorry no one gave you straight answers but in quite a few texas areas it's a given fact -- until they deal with the oversaturation issue its not going to improve -- but in your area they are working on it --

Brent and I are in the same geographic area(diffrent nodes) but we experience the same poor service. I was told over 6 moths ago, that our fiber-optics are below industry standard, and we we're awaiting an upgrade. I asked if the upgrade was in fact scheduled, and they said "no, there was no eta on the upgrade, we will be notified via email when we are scheduled" This was over 6 months ago.

The service has been really bad man, and im in Arlington, and Brent is in Grand Prarie, yet the same issues are plaguing each one of us. At home is the friggen AOL of broadband.
