Hi.

I have had this problem for years now, but only now did I realize that it was due to my staggering 96% packet loss! (According to pingtest.net)

Now, what I experience is a really slow net and many time-outs. I have tried to change my DNS and.... nothing seems to help.

Help would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.

This is almost sure to be hardware. Bad CAT5 Ethernet cable(s), defective network card/chipset, defective broadband modem or router.
Could also be caused by the wire connecting your home to the local network, either cable or DSL.

I'd start by having your ISP run a line test to see what the quality is.

Sorry for the VERY late responce.

Anyhow, I did that ISP thingy and they said that everything is fine. I am starting to think that might it be something to do with the hardware in the area? I live in a complex of houses that were built about 16 years ago. So, I wonder if that could do it? Perhaps some lines are corroded?

Thanks!
