Vonage As an FYI, Comcast tech came to my house and said signal to my house was too strong!!
As an FYI, Comcast tech came to my house and said signal to my house was too strong!! He plugged my Cable Modem right into the box outside and same issue. So they are fixing some stuff on the box today but I'm not holding my breath.
Per eoren1's comments, I started running pingplotter against comcast.net and wholly cow, packet loss is pretty large. Usually 10% to 20% right out on the first hope. My guess is this is probably related to the high line power issue. But given this about the fifth hop jumps between 20% and 50% packet loss. My guess is the service outage last Friday was related to this and I'm going to use this information to follow-up with Comcast if the line issue to my house is not the final solution.
One other note. For the fun of it I pointed pingplotter against Vonage.com. Numbers were fairly analogous to comcast.net but when I picked up the phone and called my cell phone. The packet loss #'s skyrocketed to 60-70% range. Even some cases reporting ERR. May be cause of line power again but very curious.
I will follow-up when they have the tech come out and fix the line power problem. Then maybe, I will follow up with more info. BTW, what is an acceptible % packet loss. I know there will be someone say 0% cause I pay for it, but reality, what is that magic # (5, 10, ??).

• Typical story - used Vonage for a year and noticed bad outgoing quality in past
• Same here on both accounts (outbound sound loss and wife getting i-rate). Frankly
• It could be a matter of QoS settings or a bad line somewhere.
This may be useful:
• It really should be 0% as far as PingPlotter is concerned.
