heh this is so ironic that this thread was made. i am in the midst of my comcast/at&t cable modem crapping out almost every day past 3 pm now for 4 weeks. i do a trace route and ping yahoo.com every day and i get this:

Ping statistics for 216.109.125.69:
Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 50, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 140ms, Maximum = 259ms, Average = 178ms

it starts around hop 4. here is what the brilliant tech rep for comcast told me last night.

T-Justin S says, If you are not currently having the problem, you may want to contact us when you are so we can run some tests and get some information from your end. You can call in at 1-888-262-6300 if you would like to speak with a voice representative.
You say, jesus christ...i just had a problem MAN! didnt you see my results i posted? avg of 179ms ping ....im going crazy here
T-Justin S says, I'm sorry for any confusion but 179ms to yahoo is not an issue
.
You say, i will call from now on...waiting 40 minutes on hold is way more productive than chatting in here to the wind
You say, lol
You say, thats hilarious
You say, its a non issue
T-Justin S says, I'm sorry you feel that way. Have a good evening and thank you for contacting Comcast.
You say, right
You say, later deek
