Well, it's been an interesting week and my saga continues. Bottom line, things still suck. Tuesday we had one of the repair guys come out. He waved his hands around a bit, switched me to a different server, got some ping results around 10% and said it was fixed. His claim is that 10% was good. Well, hours later is fell back to %25 dropped packets so we called them out again. Today another tech came out, she plugged in her meter and said "this link sucks". She tested the modem, wiring, splitters, tap, and all looked fine. Finally she replaced everything from the distribution box to the PC and it still sucks. However, she did fess up that they consider anything above 5% to be horrible and %25 is over the top horrible. She said that there is nothing else she can replace as we have new everything, including wiring from the pole to the pc and that the next step is to get the lineman in here to start working backwards from the distribution box. Oh well, we'll see who shows tomorrow.
