Apologies... The link should be http://vonage.nmhoy.net/packetloss.html
It might. I'd do some tests on www.dslreports.com/tools and see if you can isolate any other line problems.
I know the computer shows the same quality as the router, but your router still might be introducing delays or issues that don't fully show up on the Voip tests. Have you hooked the Vonage adapter straight to to your cable modem and tried a test call in that configuration? If that works better, you may try some other firmware in your router.
But I have to be honest, IMHO all of these are slim hopes. Your ISP connection appears to have a problem, and your ISP refuses to deal with it. Is DSL available in your area? Maybe you can use it as a threat to get your ISP to take you seriously. Maybe not.
Packet discards are a function of latency. A packet has to be delayed for some time before it is discarded. So your ISP may be right that your MODEM has low latency, but I suspect their uplink has more latency than Voip is happy with. Do some latency tests at dslreports.com and see, though.
So, if they claim the modem is running perfectly, then there's not much they will do in all likelihood. Do you know the DOCSIS version of that modem?
