I have the same setup as you do. I also have @home cable and I get 54 to 75% packet loss. I call tech support daily and it seems that they do not care about packet loss on games. They just tell me that I at least I can download web pages fast. I hate @home, but they are they only provider for any fast internet in my area. If someone can Help Please do.

@HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE SSSSSSUUUUUUUUXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with you guys, @home just plain SUX!

Yeah...I'm with you guys. I have been fine playing games (mainly Tribes) just until recently. That is when I have had terrible packetloss. I have a great setup, and tried everything. I called my cable modem provider, and they don't care at all. The only difference is, I am with Charter Pipeline. I am having the same problems though. I only got my cable modem for gaming, and it still sucks. This bites guys, we ought to do something about it.

I have the same problem..grrrr, My ping is always over a 100 spiking like crazy..almost unplayable and @suckyhome wont do a thing about it

ditto the packet loss.
Nobody seems to have a clue either. Thats to bad. The only way to get results from ATT is for "ALOT" of people to quit ATT. But its so hard to start a revolution...nobody wants to go first. I could always go back to dial up and play very close servers.

I am another @home subscriber suffering these problems...for the past month or so. Are others experiencing these issues seeing a correlation with digital phone services in their respective areas? I think i do....and local cable company says upgrades in the lines, from fiber1 to fiber3, will make my problems go away...we'll see around mid-november...
