Shudder.. Had the same trouble myself recently. The cable modem I use has a diagnostic web server built in. If yours is similar you can probably ping its IP and if you get no packet loss there then it's likely that the problem is beyond your control. Hopefully your ISP will fix it within a week or two if you complain enough. John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
